replying to a poet’s bleat

 replying to a poet’s bleat

spare me the despair

i have enough of my own

how full can emptiness be

tell me ~ go on tell me

what works eventually 

when all has been tried and failed

when the dam on time’s river is failing

for what word can plug despair 

before a deluge of death-bed poems

fills the piss pot

i’m listening now

alright 

come on
