February 2022 Collage Poem: Relief from the Darkness
Wallowing in darkness like warthogs in a pool
Horrendous December in the Gym
Under my duvet a donut prods my lust.
Outside the ambulance carries the lost prophet Susan
Through the slashing rain.
Channelling memories that everybody liked
More than joy, joyriding with sweaty socks leaving
A pile of charcoaled grief.
Grim and grimmer walked away
Without a glimmer of hope
A copy of Mayfair and a cracked helmet too
Raging, thrashing sea, pelting rain
In the end, the light was here to lead us home
Released from the hurricane hell of pain and thunder
As I feel the sand on my toes once again
Take him away in four parts.
