Empty crucible

Once full of righteous fire

Now just grey ashes

The snake rears its head

Striking blindly at targets

That are imagined

Adopts power stance

Arms crossed - closed for argument

Pin head and big mouth

resolution

I don't do new year
there is a lot of noise here
none of it is mine

when the chimes kick in
auld lang syne hands are unlinked
as phones point skywards

cascading fireworks
fall on lost souls in doorways
where poverty lies

True Nature Too

Amazon tribes feed

Their babies with hot ashes.

Charcoal promises

South Pacific tribes

Sort the fish from the plastic

On littered beaches

Children of the world

Put their blind elders to shame

As the planet chokes

True Nature

A wolf howls skywards

To tell the pale, waxing moon

Of the solar death

The raven squawks in flight

As it tells the morning star

Of the sun’s rebirth

A man cries alone

Unaware of dark or light

In his Brexit hell
