2nd April 2025


 


sharp frost

under the morning sun

gilded glory

III.IX


There are no gleams of jewels nor glints of gold

among trinkets scattered through the room

just rancid underwear and sheets long cold;

jazz mags half-hidden in the gloom.

A katana from a market stall

which doesn't scream "bad ass" but lame;

Rock band posters curl and fall

'twixt Athena tennis girls sans frames.

Whoever was this nasty punt

who didn't have an education?

A flyer from the National Front

proclaims it's message for the nation.
