Wet T-Shirt

Life is not a race and depression is real

	Got the shirt done and dusted every now 

		... and then in the here and now the angels sing

Not a wet T-shirt competition ‘though the

	living dwell and exist on that beach called

		‘Challenge Sands’ and sometimes we fry

The heat bleaches meaning onto the fabric

	orchestrates as mosaic a tapestry of surrender

		for tears to dry and mute silence to blossom


Into the light over hills and down crusted slopes

	slowly picking up speed and when all is told

		another story needs remembering for change
