appeared in Gordon Fazakerley: Drawings and Poems (1962). Published by
Bauhaus Situationniste. Born in Widnes in the North-West of England Gordon
Fazakerley has been closely associated with the Bauhaus Situationniste
all his life. He contributed to Drakabygget and was at one time co-editor

Extracts from Poems, Drawings
Gordon Fazakerley
opened to the steps of silences
I am unrecognisable to all my changes
as I wake in the shroud of my fable
***
I measure the circle the centre that I am
with the language chain
that has grown from my mouth
grown into my hands to be pulled
or-else I will be dragged.
***
my fingers unbutton the language of the space
whose gradual acquisition covers and punctuates
the turning throngs of hiddenness
