To the Souls of the Inert
after John Cowper Powys (The Inmates)
damn your souls
those who remain indifferent
to broken plates
chipped cups and saucers
or shattered mirrors
while talking-up federations for the world
until the lost
ripped-off
and the fractured
who one has invested time and love in
are found
repaired
or re-joined
no point even in talking about
enjoying a nice cup of aromatic buy isotretinoin roaccutane Assam tea
in one’s favourite Royal Worcester cup
