October 2023 Collage Poem: Eyes of Strangers

entry picture

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?
