(Lazy) Poetry Blogging

I just really like this one. (And yes, I’ll be posting summaries of Inverness and Edinburgh, as soon as I’m recovered from this damn cold.)

operation:
get down
by Alex Lemon

It is very
Common
To have

A cave within us
To hide

Away in when it all
Seems hopeless. To cry

Tears of mostly blood.

To feed on the day-
Dream in which

Side mirrors shear off
Of your car

As the walled road
Narrows.

To swerve might make…

There is a saint for the down
& out. A rock is a rock

Is a rock & redwood
Trees grow out
Of our chests.

It is horrible & right,
Here in this place. Dum

Spiro, spero. We’re all in
This shit together.
