5th October 2025

 


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.
