A Poem a Day Rip-Offs

'Sitting at a laptop creates an image that I carry back.' (Jay Cool) A neck with a thousand folds. A bump harboured by an anxious nose. A line, puckered into peaks and troughs, of 48 years near gone. A thought. It is not me. Just an image. An image of another me in another time. Not me now. Now, I write myself into being - smoothing out the lines and carrying them over and back.

'House', Pixabay.com 'tis strange that from my womb you birthed before you ran into the womb of friends - cushioned up by their company, as you return to your once-was home - fleeted and flitting. Copyright owned by Jay Cool, January 2019 Inspired by  'Pieta' by Rainer Maria Rilke
