end of a hot day
we pause to rest overnight
though climate change won't

    Untitled Poem, drug mention (junk), implicit violence, may contain traces of Tallulah Bankhead [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

    Heroin and sweltering summer days both have a sweet tooth,
    Like old junkies with voices that taste of burnt sugar,
    Their songs flyblown and ragged, faded to sepia and blue beneath years of beating sun and blazing golden light.

    When the rain comes, it hammers down hard enough to rip through cheap paper and fragile skin.
    Shreds of posters flap like drowned ghosts, the final encore of a spectacle long past its time.

    Treading carefully in the tracks left by their passage,
    We must remain circumspect, even under torture,
    Interrogated at the point of a stainless steel blade.

    Compelled, commanded and bound within the circle,
    A vision of veiled discretion in the place of deranged and washed out glamour;
    Gallery girls and bacchae bearing un|told narratives of doomed futures, un|wound in plain sight.

          THE CITY IS A MAGIC SCULPTURE OF
          THE GROUP MIND THE CITY IS A
          MYSTIC DREAM OF FOREST MEMORY\
          WALLS ARE THE LAST GASP OF FAILING

          —Robert Montgomery, billboard poem

          robertmontgomery.org/b6hov0ii4

          
A street corner in Shoreditch, London, UK. A white billboard stands above a single-storey building on the corner. The street curves away, with a black sign saying "24hr CAR WASH in yellow letters, and a lamp-post carries a speed-limit sign reading "20 ZONE". A young woman is crossing the street, possibly holding something in her arms. She is wearing a red shirt, a grey tank-top and an orange skirt. A couple of other people can be seen further down the street, standing on the pavements and talking to each other. Beyond the billboard we can see some trees, and a red-brick wall, possibly sheltering a low-level train line. Further in the distance, beyond the wall, a slender modern multi-storey building of glass and concrete rises up against a pale grey sky.

The white billboard has large black capital letters on it. They read:

PLODE ACROSS ALL COUNTRIES \ IMMI-

Below the billboard is another poster, the same width as the billboard, but black, with white lettering. The letters get bigger, running the full width of the poster. The poster reads:

THE FUTURE IS AN INVISIBLE PLAYGROUND/
YA NO SOMOS TUS SIERVOS
/NO PASARAN |

                  ST KILDA CROSSING
by Lynn Valentine

I pulled all my mother’s expectations
with me, like a child’s kite, giddy with stir
of spring. Because she was cancer-cracked
I turned tourist by proxy, crouched into cleits
looking for leavings of last century.

I photographed fawn smallness of Soays
felt the crash of wind-whipped stacs,
my pockets salt-filled. I leant
on those islands as my mother leant on me,
filled my lungs with their breeze
and leaping green language of sea.

I tried to hold my breath for days,
took it back to my mother, exhaled
island air on her weakened frame –
whispered broken stories of birds and rain.

                                    Sometimes excellent poetry appears in the most unlikely of places, something we all should help happen more often. Kristen Darling today posted a lovely and insightful piece on LinkedIn. It begins:

                                    «How to Have the Life You Want

                                    One day, I hope to stop interrogating my peace.
                                    I will stop demanding peace turn out its pockets
                                    and to keep its hands where I can see them.
                                    I will stop inserting anxiety

Ash Wednesday

Remember, man, that thou art dust.

The earl kneels, the ash of the end is written on his brow.

A captain of ships kneels, to be put in mind of a death in a far port, or at home, or on a rock of the sea.

And the boy that holds cinders for the priest,
His forehead is smeared,
Who wears a coat of fourteen Aprils.

The lady of Paplay
Thinks, most mornings, she will live forever; kneeling now
Is touched with the grave-stoor.

The ploughman folds sun-grained hands,
He tilts his face
To the dust drained of warmth and light.

Fisherman, the spindrift
Will wash the ashes from you tomorrow.
Still you remember, between two waves,
St Peter and the fire of his denials.

And the old bishop, “I know this,
One God-ground deed or thought
Endures, when the circle of diamond-and-gold on my finger is dust.”
In the kirk of Magnus
Stood a multitude of islanders, death-farers, that day,
Hungry, after, for panis angelicus.

And unto dust thou shalt return.

The Oak stands silent, waiting for hours to fill
Sit awhile and you might hear
The friendship that echoes across the years

I figured somehow that Valentine's week was a good time to get it out into the world.

                                                                                                      Where no guest comes, a thought’s a shout.

                                                                                                      He pokes along; he’s in no haste:
                                                                                                      He has no map and no suitcase;

                                                                                                      He has no worries and no woes,
                                                                                                      For where he is is where he goes.

                                                                                                      Ponder this wonder under his dome
                                                                                                      Who, wandering, is always home.

                                                                                                          I live by the sea, and when the tide is low you can walk to a small uninhabited island via a natural causeway. I penned this after one such visit.
