Pity goes

I'm reading The Grass Arena -

I can see the Boneyard -

My nightmare London - 

The neck of the bottle -

The vodka - 

The curved platform in the tube station - 

I know their names now - 

Those lurching figures -

Steal the Horse - 

The Dipper, Fingers Knox, Mad Rafferty -

They wake up to the terrible dawn - 

Memory goes, pity goes -
