Endings
There – an ending – a recourse – a damning
by more admissions – by reductions
& other canalisations
which can no longer be left to flow
by a misdiagnosis – by new meds
or by wearing of pulled-tight blinkers
We are drowning – we blind guides
with uncovered still useless eyes
miss each slipped & stained indiscretion
which creep like unfurled underwear
from between tightly-zipped travel bags –
Wayfarers wearied after nights
away – working – unavailable –
apart from a quick one – a filling of gaps
in hotel expenses & of endless bar tabs
everything to be removed – forever
under this title – Endings
