On of my resolutions for 2012 is to resume regular posting on here after my pitiful couple of posts for 2011. I haven’t written much in the past year but must adopt more productive habits for the coming one. The image is of Docklands because I didn’t have a photo of Leicester city centre, at least, not one I hadn’t used previously.

The Old

2011, all smash, grab
and force-feeding drags its belly up Gallowtree Gate,
staggers past a woman twirling fire
on the steps of the Clock Tower, sags,
at the last stroke of twelve.
