    A Poetic Distraction

    As I glance
    Skyward
    The top of a church
    Meets
    A seagull
    Which seems to hang in the air
    On the sun-soaked nebulations of our heights
    The seagull
    Appearing
    Poised
    And ready to swoop
    And feed
    On a strewn mash of cheese and onion
    Crisps
    With a metaphor
    I didn’t measure
    With enough
    Care

    And do you ever see me walking the streets muttering to myself about you?

    The line breaks and hanging line indents may be incorrectly formatted because I cannot be bothered to fiddle with the HTML. View the correct formatting in the full collection Juveni… Doesn’t Matter (The Grey-Salmon Book) (and subscribe at the top of the page).
