THE FOLLOWING POEM WAS SELECTED IN WINGWORD POETRY PRIZE 2023 LONGLIST.
Cared we all have enough,
And care again we will one day.
But what 'bout tonight?
The fire burning through you and me again.
Clutching too hard to not not leave scars,
bellowed mellowed under silent stars.
Ajar you stand half open half close,
What am I but verses you never fell for?
Care we all have enough,
and care again we will one day.
But let it just not be today!
