The bit of pavement in Birstall where Jo Cox was killed, near the library. I take a photograph, of nothing, to remind me of nothing, and how her name sails clear of it how her speech is written on a history and the killer’s name forgotten soon as said. All we demanded was justness, to see it brightening the air over as plain a piece of pavement as you’ll find between love and hell. And still a report echoes across the dull town and still an answer stands in the language. The photo goes into war records under “Whatever”.
