George Floyd (the sequel and prequel)

This year was for
Sisters of the moon
a thawing echo chamber
a piano player with broken wrists
asking for full disclosure

This year was for
clarifying instincts
while zoning out to television repeats
These mediums, a choir of canaries 

This year started with the Coopers
and ended with statues of slave masters
in the deepest rivers

RIP GEORGE FLOYD 

AGE

Somewhere between top of the pops disappearing

A G E

and a paedophile priest

 
He got older. 

 

Can't you just curtsy

Can't you just curtsy 

those who've harboured PTSD

from 12 hour shifts, 

a blitz of screaming fits, the pits

Up against a sideline of

Michael Fish sceptics

Wearing the dark eyes of a 

doped up graveyard 

A hospital in 2020.

Underpaid  undervalued.

Can't you just curtsy them ...

if anyone at all.

A land of landlords

A land of landlords creating box rooms for families out of poorly cladded high rises or old libraries . Lucky if you get a window seat. Ice pops and screens on hand , just don't all need a piss at once .  

Smoothie

Tomorrow I will make my Nan in law a smoothie...  

Banana, 

honey, 

peanut butter. 

rice milk

She won't remember but I hope she remembers it's there 

by her side willing to be finished.
