August 2022 Collage Poem: The Haze of a Sweet Afternoon
Time to slake our thirst for words
A cerebral circle of wordsmithery
Burying two dozen rats
In your neighbour’s garden
Under their prized rose patch
Whom you’d never liked one night
There’s a rat in the allotment –

Outside the ambulance carries the lost prophet Susan
Through the slashing rain.
Channelling memories that everybody liked

A pile of charcoaled grief.
Grim and grimmer walked away
Without a gl...
