ARMOUR MOON, DEMOB REDUX

i always wore armour

under a boozers moon

as heavy

as its

forged past felt

& i called out

for

more fuel more fuel more fuel

~

hell

saw

me

then

vain-glorious in the piss-alley

&

came for my ego in legion

now i am

naked lighter demobbed half-undone

just one more struggle-pup

counting scars & stars

another scratch & sniff sinner

pretending hes won

under a losers moon

satan-lite & cherub thin

unfallen like rehab

sitting on the cement steps

of

our

seaside mongrel nation
