Not Alone
not falling on your feet exactly,
surviving, just, as if it’s something
mystical –
a bit like
copping plagues of ants in an
extreme excess of rain tuned
to Xmas - New Year recess,
or
seeing pictures of mad flooding
roadways in wmvs, although a
local live effect’s the same,
even wearing
a voluntary hair-trim leaving no
room for doubt, power blackouts
and internet transponder failures
and now
a noisy ‘rat’ making ‘home’
in the spare room – a wet
refugee bandicoot maybe;
but the inundated
homes nearby with neighbour’s
concerned offers of help genuinely
and freely made says
eloquently
we’re isolated in fact – no obvious
escaping that callous reality, but
we know we’re not alone...
