HEAL PARK

The skeletal frame of a Rollercoaster

Onto which fitted wheels, seating

Garish moulded plastic coloured

Inert silence no power from running current

Except for birds in the sky theme park

Abandoned except for giant tent building

The envelope opened up hand around throat

Sent to every house in town

 

And from source iron doors

Air conditioning to breathe out

 

The arms of cranes that whirled 

Hardened styrofoam two seat carriages

Not again to bring pleasure

Commandeered premises managed

A cure or a shield for those nearest

The race to defeat infected endangered

 

And from source number letter code

Brings compliance of superstitious hold

 

Whatever mouths created in theme park

From perspective of trolley bound

Does it look attractions screaming?

Their job so gallows must

Driven to laboratory where tent built

Then frontline but do they pass travelling

Past Rollercoaster grounded?

Out into conquered motorway?

 

And from source block from Earth

Gauntlet slapped to challenge others here

 

The dust blown looks dancing

If considering generators are the music.

This piece has a beautiful resonance and rhythm to it. A wonderfully written piece of poetry
Nice one
