My next poem will be THE ONE


My next poem will be THE ONE

No more pissing about across the
backyard ladders, the aged bric-à-brac,
that cry tales of tumbled stone-dross,
off the old houses’ broken backs.

It is time to write in ghost blood, 
that will stain forever time; to
till the soil beneath nail’s black hood,
for the grime words there are mine. 

It is there I know, if I stay my hand,
to wait the flow teach tone, for in
my mind’s cracked cavern grand,
the tears soak my very own. 

Chisel with a paintbrush pen,
to statue you in your track.
Genuflect to this my poem then,
for no one is going back!

Not sure if this is THE ONE
