My plug in baby
In unbroken virgin realities
Is tired of living
And I’ve seen your loving

The rain to the wind said,
You push and I’ll pelt.’
They so smote the garden bed
That the flowers actually knelt,
And lay lodged–though not dead.
I know how the flowers felt.―

More to follow.
Wherever you are, stay safe and look for the light in the shadows…

Throughout April, Ben Huberman and the WordPress Discover team team hosted Discover Prompts.
My daily response involved an impromptu poem and a photo made (with one exception) in Accra where I am ‘locked down’ accompanied by an occasional quote or snatched lyric from a song.
You can read all my poems here.

well my soul checked out missing as I sat (list)ening
to the hours and minutes tickin’ awaylyrics from better days, bruce springsteen
they came in the night
when we were not looking
when we ticked the box to the t&cs
when we looked the other way
when we ticked the box to the t&cs
when we were having so much fun
when we ticked the box to the t&cs
and then
when our focus was elsewhere
their plan was complete
when we ticked the box to the t&cs
they took it all
away
