Just ink , spoiling pages
Waiting for this months wages
Slave to grind, Slave for sale
Blocking the direct debits
Last month's smoke, this month's joss stick
Tied to a service I didn't choose
Watching the food go mouldy.
Ball in heart, knot in stomach
Hoping to find a solution
Offers come in for later.
Belief, Believe choose, choice, steal, thief.
Sticky as the keys,thick as thieves
Irregular verbs and lessons
Shaking with fear,or pain,or both
Breathe. Hold out my hand.
Stars will shine on our ashes
Long dead stars. Wish I must.
Land! Ahoy! Come into land,
Ah ! Where do roads lead?
Frost told us the difference
And summer lanes ,wooded and hooded
Gnarled banks and rootballs bulk
Canopy shielding shading,shining
Green filtered light speckling down
Dust shod feet echo through ages
The pen hacks its way through the wood
Vote for fools, lies lose,
Treacle in space
A glass.
Bring me my road
Warts on the toad
Rap and rhyme
Speak to me as I have
Nothing to say.
