National Disgrace 12/7/2021
It's a national disgrace
Not the boys that kicked a ball,
That did their best,
That stood proud and tall before they crumbled
Not the decisions
Casting Its Light
Casting its light
Casting a shadow
A black dog beneath
A stumbling drunk
A hurrying figure, not wanting to wait
To be somebody's victim
A cliché, but mostly
Rush Hour In Brimscombe
Scales playing, out of the window
Carried on the wind
Above the road noise, which pauses
Temporarily on hold as if to say
Go on, no, it's
when i sit
by myself
in a time and space
a tiny place
i can think
of those things
that i cannot face
slow the pace
and
its alright.
Open Water
The swell of a wave
As it hits
Your face
Mouth closed, eyes cleansed
Cold release as it subsides
And you can blink again
Distant score, stretching
Parallax to tell the
