Last on Poetry24

I had nineteen poems published by Martin at Poetry24 in 2018. Nine more  in 2019 — the latest, and last (because Poetry24 is closing for submissions) is: I read the news today. It was also the last submission Martin at Poetry24 put up. I'm honoured.

I read the news today - news and news and news… the news never sleeps

I read the news today

"…the whole world weeps, sheds water from its fractured veins, 
finds its bedrock shattered or under pressure, under duress, 
it oozes blood, a blood-like fluid, a thin extraction, 
the Earth’s crust sobbing, mortally wounded by stabs of greed"
