Ghost Writers
it is good, is it not
to reclaim an identity
felled by wind, set upon by rot
it is good to have a voice,
when once it was so repressed
yet now, it is without recourse
and it is good, is it not
to tell your own story
and not one told by –
non committal fighters
or a selection –
of non caring ghost writers
but it only exists
in a certain dimension
and the waterfall of words is there
to make you drown
there is no debate
just a volume of words
which replaces a volume of meaning
sociopathic ill winds
culminate in a particular kind of screaming
James Garratt – Wednesday 18th October 2017
