Go now
And be forsaken.
Go now
And lead your sorrows on:
Trudge across the dark set night
Ambling on your simple ways
The gravel’s crunch your only friend.
Blow the coldness from your ruby lips
Remember the warmth of our star flecked nights.
Your dirty boots were once benign
Your calloused hands now sharply sign
A roughness of feeling
An untutored heart:
That hulking body
Hides an unformed soul.
Begone and wrestle
Ache, ache and learn to love.
Gar Jones: December 2016
