"And Here's Richie with the Travel".

#poem #poetry #skypoets #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity

Tail-gated by a huge articulated lorry,
like a penguin fleeing from a killer whale,
I look out for the safety of a junction:
I can exit and then enter,
letting my tormentor past
to menace someone else.

But there is none.
The motorway seems endless: no way off,
no pebbled beach to waddle up
or rock to perch upon.
If only I could fly,
could lift above the cold, grey road,
could leave the great beast
far beneath my stubby wings.

Then it begins to overtake,
its great bulk straining
to accelerate,
and inch by inch
it crawls beside me,
creeping past
as slowly as a glacier.
I drop my speed a little,
try to hurry things along —
but then things hurry quicker
than my mind can track. Someone pulls in sharply
from the outside lane —
too close;
the lorry driver flinches,
and the glacier
just slides a little to the left...
and there is noise and motion, pain and more pain,
and more pain.

And as I feel enormous jaws close over me,
the light receding from my eyes,
the noises from my ears,
the world continuing without me,
leaving me alone, discarded here,
…

"Pick Up Your Face & Go Home Now"

(expansion of “pick up & go now”, from Reuben Woolley’s "some time we are heroes" [2018])

#poem #poetry #skypoets #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity

afterwards he
walks a little way,
appears unhurried —
leaves the road and follows
paths that twist through trees
“why change? why take off,
put on masks?” she says;
“we go, we disappear,
have anonymity — new
neighbourhoods... no names
to hold us fast to what we used to be.”
it beat hard his heart,
& wild a time.hear the baby in her womb,
its heart string stretched,
in time with hers, accelerating now,
but fading.

Signal boost mistakes
Masochistically marvel
At the responses
Seeking digital lashings
To refute you’re weak

Can we find beauty,
and marvel at its presence,
In the hideous?
Our blemished existence may
Possess multitudes.

Golden sands glow beneath skies

"The Final President".

#poem #poetry #skypoets #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #trump #horror

clouds part revealing light
too bright for human eyes
and on the final breeze
reverberates a piercing
bronze
imperative

the mountains do not break the wild wind
are broken by it and the pit’s foul reek
pours out
across a land swept bare
by rain that doesn’t so much
fall upon as flense
the surface of the lifeless Earth
