December 2022 Collage Poem: The Eternal Caretaker
Black Hole grapples with frustration
Human kindness comes calling
As poverty whips our feet from underneath us
And now I say is the winter of our discontent
In unravelled disarticulated bones
Put on your slippers and kill
Spray squidgy on me not acid and I
Shall love you forever bubbles and all.
Go forward to the front
With Motherland yellow sunflower slippers
It’s my birthday, and I’ll wear my
Slippers if I want to.
Lighting up another cigarette in
The toilet, celebrating the end of
Another year.

Chocolate biscuit munching
unwrapped yellow slippers
eight eternal caretaker chairs
no-body left behind
Christmas W.O.L poetry evening
now waits for next year.
