March 2024 Collage Poem: Footnotes in History

Intense embarrassment, gutted love

 

The fatal attraction of King George’s ruby letters

proved all too much

 

The accordion follows the footsteps

of the footnotes of history

up the stairs to the heavy door

 

Evidence washed ashore, dissonance not delight

and whisperings of the dead

estuary water floods over the road – wet feet walk

 

I Beech tree is a pedant...
