a climate gone mad. The fierce blue sky of the first scene has faded, and the horizon is whitening, as if in horror, between those pathetic twirling and falling caps. A new maximum temperature has been recorded. The rest is the history we hardly dare imagine. Our own?"Martial Diptych" is reprinted with kind permission of the author and of Picador Poetry, an imprint of Pan Macmillan, London, UK.
