"Three Comparisons in Search of a Subject".

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

	i.

           like a dry river waiting for Winter
                        when down from the hills
                                               – fast-flowing, foaming –
                                flash flooding scours
                 the cluttered channel:
      fallen branches, wind-blown paper,
and leaf litter.


	ii.

                              like a shadow that’s been stolen
                yearning for the sun
                                  for anchorage
                          and for a third dimension
       waking up bereft
      “whose am I?”


	iii.

                                            like a comic anecdote
                                                    tried out for the first time
                                                            on a roomful of depressives
                                struggling to find a rhythm
                                                          pierce the fog
                  cause one mouth to twitch
                                           one eye to widen
                                                     in surprised amusement

Chin up, we’re brave, we’re determined, we want justice, we can do this…

Ticking hands on the office clock.
The sun shining,
sweet birds flying -
an bhfuil cead agam dul amach?

Decay walked across
The islands, a macabre
Deadly pilgrimage

We can never be,
Like islands set apart by
A vindictive sea

"Chosen".

                 faces lined beyond their years
                              the couple sat
                                   and wept
                                                  in silence
                                       scattered all about them
                                                     drying limbs
                                            upon the dusty ground
                                                    charred, hacked, or broken
                             lay their life              the lives of
                                                             countless generations
                                                                        on this ancient land
                                     gnarled      uprooted
                                            never more to fruit

                 although she knew the answer
                            asking only as a more articulated
                                                cry of pain
                                   she cried
                                                                           Why us?

Sailing into harm
Violence can feel like love
When the current pulls

Magpie balances
up down
the thrashing treetop jay-oak
cackling at the wind.
Look up at the Ozymandias Solstice bird
storm-crow nesting in ravenous clouds
Face up to the rain.

"The Huntsman's Eyes".

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

We came upon a rabbit by the path
while walking in the Wolds one Winter’s day:
unmoving but alive, eyes weeping pus —
          and so she killed it, stamping on its head.

My shocked reaction, though it went unvoiced,
brought scorn for townie softness I betrayed;
the creature, myxie-raddled, was in pain —
          so killing it was merciful, she said.

I couldn’t fault the logic, to be sure,
but more than simple logic was at play;
the glee with which she’d killed was all too clear,
          and over it the mercy thinly spread.
