July 2022 Collage Poem: Tired Pleasure
Cursed ghouls and ghosts demand revenge
colours will fade as our love fades
in the haze of a sweet afternoon, the
angler fish flashed light on the smooth
movements of languid pleasure moaning
from the bed.
You don’t look like your profile picture
Nigel said to John Lennon
more like Bob Dylan on speed
among the loss of time
and our love reigns
We were Kings of poetry and past times,
now lost in the final dregs of a gin bottle
Martians at large in Stockport
Latest news – all’s well that ends well
too busy with themselves to bother
about others.

I don't care
