this will not be read
A poem
folded
before the ink dries,
hidden
behind my ribs.
no one ever looks there,
too quiet,
too dark.
but still the words
rustle
like moths
chewing through
the fabric
of who I was.
this will not be read

Greyed clouds glitch—
today's sky is out of service.
A child draws trees
they’ve never seen.
Uniformed pigeons
peck propaganda crumbs,
while hope queues
at an emptied vending machine
marked "Try Again Later."
Submission comes

The moon becomes the witty image of an isolated and contemptuously neglected elderly relation

This week's #poemoftheweek is something different, a Manifesto for a new art movement, Sc@bart It's Year Zero, all previous art is void, it eschews beauty & technique revelling in speed, simplicity & edge. Sc@bart is for everyone or no-one there's no in-between. Enjoy (or not)
