overburdened
my capacity to accept the world;
my failings

Yesterday, 2025
A dusty file of watercolour art
kept in the loft for some future time
where I would be more popular and start
to sell these things of paint and clay and rhyme.
But no; a decade gone and fame eludes
the bloody pact to trade away my soul
for I realise now was platitudes
to be a household name among the prole.
These dated works will see the light of day
and be received by whom profess to know
of my brief sojourn to this world and say
they held some sadness when I chose to go.
For these old watercolours torn and ripped
assembled into festive cards are shipped.
