The Spell.

My latest poem.... I wrote this when I was trying to ignore a presentation some kid was giving in a seminar today...


'Look at you, the poppy who grows from concrete.
At the entrance to the lethe you choose to take your seat.
Proserpine! How soft your sweet pupils can make us feel!
You're the sea, spinning the axis of the fortune wheel.'

The sun penetrated the room through the crack in the curtains and Harp got up to close the gap.

“Fucking day-light, it’s my all time enemy” laughed Dahlia as Harp pretended to be melting from the sunlight. They didn’t want to know that day had begun; the pressure of fatigue and poor health lay on them like the devils duvet.
