August 2020 Collage Poem: Out of the Earth
Spinning out of control history going mad
Gunpoetry Plotters spinning music by the River of Time
drunker and drunker with each nearer step he took on the road to Manchester
A susurration of stanzas and verses skim across the rooftops of Stockport.
relentless ripples of summer clouds
Grim it up, brother
Grim it up, sister,
graduate from sad.
a driver pausing in the road waiting for the next turn
It was a poetic explosion spinning like lies covered in cuts and close to an angel’s heart.
Reading poetry in the shadows
The farmer still in isolation with no need for a mask, five poets on his mind, all to welcome him, through a son in another world, another time, he wouldn't see, but they would see him
Crimson clouds of deep remorse as crows scrap over wilting flowers of remembrance
taking shelter under an unclutted cloth away from sin
Sweet Tame run softly
for my wounds I must sing both loud and long
smiling on summer faces through near future speculative fiction
Four years to the sound of the ocean
And everything that went before from the previous ten years.

Humble offerings
absorbing read
madness talks
crazy lines
Sounds grim
but good
each and
every time.
