FEARS FACED - A SHORT STORY POEM TREATMENT



all his burned belongings 
are ash & mess now 
effluent in the estuary pull

he stands naked now
abroad & in a desert
smashed spectacles at his bleeding feet

theres murder behind him
confessions & incriminations
in the newspaper mail

his last meal was
his mobile phone

fears faced
or
getting there


~


lobotomy spoon held loose 
in a zombie hand

his doubts jam now 
flung on the nights scree

hes waiting on police now
an ambulance
bit of rendition maybe
or holy wrath

& he is smoking Camels again
or trying to - hes clumsy

his fears faced
or
getting there
