CASUALTY; 2 In Bed      [Stefanie Bennett]

 

 

One dreams of solid elements -

White cliffs, waves, battleships.

Sees himself as Birdman, rasping

Closed skies and meeting the Maker.

Night-trends elevate this...

 

The other lies fretful, photostating

Old faults; dipping 18 carat vows

Black though proofs present

Are already glassed within

Sheep-abandoned pastures...

 

She thinks perhaps she’ll re-endorse

Animal Farm.

 

He falls from his middling

Clutching the alarm.
