Publication


For a fortnight
words remained nested within margins
of pristine white
or entombed in dark files password
protected from light

With author's brow creased
the wrecking ball hovered
and words were released
would the reader appreciate
or feel they'd been fleeced?

Unnatural Life


Each letter perfectly formed
is for computer driven printers,
not human hands.
