XV
(A)
'And you are?' Mandrake called out
'I don't talk to Shadows'
'This any better?'
The voice said
as twenty men appeared
all around us.
Twenty heavily armed men
dressed in black
'Impressive' Brooks smiled
'And do you have a way out?'
They didn't have one
as it turned out
apart from the way
none of us wanted.
(B)
Deeper and deeper
the rattling on the deserted tunnel grew
the nearer he got
flaking across the mud and the shit
with more and more venom
the nearer it got
until it got to the end
its rage barely contained.
