Garrottes Poems | Examples

Comfort

winter of discontent

contentious parade

snow man without carrot

flaked garrottes 

icicles frozen synapses

permafrost neurons

refrigerated transmitters

crystal clear rime


arrested thoughts

shackled straightjackets

locked trap door

key shielded in white

powdered in residue

remains of resolve


a hot water-bottle

crocheted blanket

passion under cover

bed springs awaiting

for another season

and thawing delight


deconstructing what is

I am sunbathing

on paradise island

mangos in hand

kingfisher chirping

but my Princess is real

and her kiss

burns desire
