an apparition

 an apparition


the time of aphorism is over

brutal has been brutalised

abroad the don’t know who

is doing don’t know what

and the hand of aphorism is twisted

it no longer turns the keys to the works

the cogs are stuttering to a standstill

our stares are distant indeed

they no longer focus on anything

for the end is beginning and we fear for everything

now that the uplifting winch is broken

the weakest link is all of them now 

there are ditches without lips to reach

no stars to look up upon down the 

inches becoming miles in sliding

no brakes to slow our fall

and bugger-all a poet can say

will do bugger-all 

at all
