Hallo again today.
Alone Again Or
I started there, stayed here;
I left them all behind. Except
the drumbeat of incessant thoughts
against my windowpane…
Is it time for coffee yet?
Hot frothed stimulus, swallowed whole;
…it is the drug and I need to score…
The grown-up stimulus shield is useless
against an other rusty tang, like radiation –
relentless, hanging springing in the air –
under which life must mutate;
Life will distort, life eats itself,
more life becomes a static inflammation…
Which should best be thrown away:
that accustomed outer shield, or life?
That is the question. Today.
Is it bins day yet?
Because lubricants congeal:
fit to salve or to inflame?
We are glued, at random intervals
in an unaccustomed patience,
waiting muffled for some sharps to let us go
Dancing across the water / with galleons and guns
Waiting…
~ while strength leaches from our conflicted fabric
~ hope seeps into the saturated ground
~ moss thickens, rust gathers, in damp corners,
crystallising like despair in old arthritic joints;
How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is…
Is it bins day yet?
Maintain the Advance!
