Starre Inn Passage
Who yaf me drynke? Life and death from a hole in the city -
Such thirst! What says the common ground.
hemmed and bounded, shit-strewn and leaky?
You're not welcome: the rivers are yours,
flavoured by your bodies; what flows from you,
returns to you: the wretched retching, retching wretched -
How the city drinks the dead down until its
walls overfloweth -
