Patricia Walsh<br />
Conduct Forthcoming<br />
Automated messaging a fault to conceive<br />
Exceptions to the rule fit in nicely.<br />
Cleaning of worktops, mission accomplished<br />
Defunct advertisements litter the table.<br />
Turning on the heating at this time of year<br />
Comfort over local law, a wasteful legacy<br />
Tutted for future reference, cards being marked<br />
Singular gratification to one true goal.<br />
Circling overhead, not quite fit for this issue<br />
Locked in a dream world, time permitting<br />
Culling snippets from conversations inaudible<br />
Borrowed food a necessary target.<br />
Where one has gone before, do we revisit?<br />
Tripping over wheelie bins in the dark morning<br />
Hanging clothes out, praying the rain stalls<br />
Sleeping under cover of the din next door.<br />
Aiding and abetting known criminals in one’s mind<br />
Normalising pain sunk in lower chambers<br />
Self-harm without the razors, blessed with sorrow<br />
Hitting on dead statues without permission.<br />
Borrowed truth sneaks in at the right moment<br />
Canvassing for recognition in a lesser woman<br />
Switching off utilities where provided<br />
Run-on bitchiness staring into grace.
Change language
