"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.

Seawater and sweat
Hurricanes wept, torches glow
As foundations go

Within the eye of
Her hurricane, dilated
I laid uneasy

"Neverland".

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

There is a small child lying in the dark,
a tight-pulled knot of hunger, thirst, and fear,
not knowing what has happened to her home
and friends
and parents.
Though she doesn’t understand,
she has a hard-gained sick familiarity
with sharp small-arms fire, dull explosions,
shattered buildings, falling dust,
has grown accustomed to the screams
and to the screaming silence,
waking and in dream.

She can’t remember who she is —
has lost her name, her playfulness,
her curiosity, affection, warmth.

She can’t remember where she lived:
in Syria, or Yemen, or Sudan, or Palestine,
Iran, Ukraine, or Lebanon....?
So many lands she might have once called
home;
they’ve merged
into a broken nightmare,
filled with smoke.

It billows from a burnt-out tank,
from blocks of flats and hospitals,
from camp-fires,
crematoria, and cigarettes
that glow in sentried night —
smoke is the substance,
grief the form of war.

Blood bonds been banished
Taboo’s that harboured old truths
They feared the blood debt

Harbouring tormented thoughts
Spit spume from their mouths

Sunday glows beneath the golden sky,
Soft morning breezes gently pass by,
The world feels brighter, warm and true,
When Sunday mornings begin with you.

"Lord Byron (1788–1824)".

From "Last Words", a sequence of poems each starting with the last words (sometimes apocryphal) of a well-known person.

Now, I shall go to sleep.
Alone, for once —
and that is as it should be
when one fears no wakening.

Of late I have preferred
my dreams to waking life:
my limping swallows
fly to nest,
and cease their restless soaring,
swooping,
skimming placid lakes.

I know I’ve done things
that the world calls mad
(I’ve done things even I call bad),
but there is more to me than that...
I promise there is more to me than that.
