WEST GORTON GHOST TOWN





for RB

These streets still have names; Wenlock Way, Lloyd Walk,
Basechurch Walk, Skarratt Close. White boards; windows,
doors. Cars from Safeguarding Children over the road.
A bus stop. A fifteen storey tower block with satellite.

I wrote this on the internet: modern archaeology.

Three Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs).
Google maps; faces blurred, anonymised, a dog,
a child in a pink coat with her hand raised. One click; 
they separate like ghosts. All of them are gone.
