A social site for poets in Sydney.
POST-SCORCH, 18 OCTOBER 2013
We float through a world
that's surrendered to
sepia-infused Gothicism.
Yesterday, many were handed
loss, confusion and statelessness
for all their years of hard work.
On my windscreen wiper,
a raven-dark praying mantis,
as big as the word Lord
in a hymn book,
desperately tries
to cling to air.

Ah, I didn't mean to click on the 'like' option. Mea culpa. LJ
