A poem "inspired" by a skein of geese flying noisily over at 04.30 this morning for @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social and #toptweettuesday. I edited out the sweary words

This week’s #TopTweetTuesday inspired by the prompt of humour. Thank you to @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social and @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social 🎹

Sisyphus, Unfortunately

                        a piano uphill,             They push

                        Sisyphus with better hats.

            But the piano disagrees.

Left, they push.                         Right, it rolls.
                         A duet in gravity.
                                                 Laurel slips;                                                 Hardy follows—
                        entropy in bowlers.

            (a pause)

                        At the summit,                                     they breathe.

                        The piano rolls
                                    back down.

                        Again, says Laurel.

            Below, Sisyphus                         checks his watch,
                                    sees the piano coming –

                                                            and ducks.

An autumnal one for #TopTweetTuesday. Thank you to @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social and @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social ✨

EARLIER NOW

Greenish constellations touched with rust
 colonise the corner of the window frame.

Curtain at half-mast rehearsing the dark.

Sycamore key smudged against glass.

The last halo of evening is earlier now.

Already autopsied, the light obscures her face
 as if it knows where her sun will set.

Two poems for #TopTweetTuesday inspired by the act of writing about love and hate. Thank you to @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social and @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social

II. Liturgy of Ash

Grief-greased pages whisper;
I chronicle war’s ash and winter,
while joy itself lies dying
unheard beneath
iron-grey sky.

A N A T O M Y O F S T I L L N E S S

inside cupped
hands the Lynher
slips to silt

beneath my tongue
seed breaks open
into wind

my shadow drifts
through mizzle
over killas

inside my chest
a forest folds
furze-dark wings

in my ear
night turns waves
between stone

thermal roots
loosen grip
on the sky

the air bends
around a single
gull-feather

behind my eyes
the horizon opens
its zawn

between my ribs
a moth sleeps
in moorgloom

under my skin
the late tide
enters another adit

in my throat
granite crag hums
its buried nick

cumulus spits
its silver into
rootwater

@Blackboughpoetry.bsky.social #toptweettuesday and @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social for this wonderful venue and everyone participating. My poem had a mind of its own so not sure how to categorize it.
