27 December 2006…Hangover
The World lingers …and listens
lurks behind locked doors
huddles in hidden basements
sidles beside the casements
and Cold is a soggy blanket
that cloaks the frozen Globe.The World waits…and watches
catches her breath, in silent uncertainty.
What Catastrophe, Atrocity or Natural Calamity
will blast and bludgeon this presumptuous Peace
and Rev Up the sleeping engine of humanity?‘Oh time of Peace’
‘Oh time of Joy’
Times past and expunged
by the last-late-night-closing
of the Big Department Store.
The Fizz and Pizzazz have Dizzolved
lost in suspension ‘til the January Sales.The Façade of Hope
like the Xmas lights
grows tatty and second hand.
Fifty years on it’s an effort
to smile meekly and to hope
when Hope is a weary beggar
with mute stumps in supplication.Still, patiently, my Wait and my Watch,
my try to placate the ever present Void,
who gnaws and claws and grows in my breast.
I take stock of my celestial inventory
but the shelves are achingly bare
and there is only silence,
endless silence that stares
into eternal emptiness.faintly, long distance,
Someone phones my soul…
This is the end of the thread.
