If I could fly, what would change
I would still be here
imprisoned
not by walls
but by my own

dreams

__________poems
hot, isn’t it
blackbirds drinking
in the haze of summer
from dog bowls
and sprinklered puddles
gulls spiralling in updrafts
above the melting roads
feeding on clouds
of winged ants
and in the gardens
everyone
dead in the sun

Thank you!Tale #64: Memorial for the executed generals of the siege of Colchester
A town built upon the dead
the starved
and the murdered
and those left to die
in the deprivations
of imprisonment
and in the flames too
and the fire
of earlier devastations
We don’t remember the names
of the innocent beneath our feet
Yet the names of those that
should have died nameless in their guilt
we repeat them
we repeat them
