Written Lines



















Written lines collide.

The points they make,
Cheap ink meandering to a stop,
Stammering metre and ragged rhyme.


Lines,
Convergent, parallel,
Illusion joins them
At the vanishing point
Distance reduces everything,
Diminishes everything.
Vision concentrates to zero

Written lines,
Printed on a page.

A little something for the new year. God knows what it’s about. Probably the truth, in this year of so many alternatives to it.

More of that, later…
