October 2023 Collage Poem: Eyes of Strangers
Frowning ghost eyes a dreaming youth
Lost youth eyes an unforgiving clock
And the taxi waits for the Stockport poets
As eyes stare out from the broken hotel
Then the music plays another song by Cher
The men just sit and spit
With boneyard blues he drinks the wine
and tips the glass
Too early for Cher in the muffled hours
of poverty.
Bone yard grave thought
Bus stopping. Nobody got off
Half asleep in the centre of the night,
Though half-awake
The blight of poverty & boneyard scenes.

Tomb engraved
I lived my life
Writing poetry
Restless spirit forever haunting
Still thinking
What to write next?
