Capital Letters
you put capital letters
on sentences
that are uttered
you tidy up the hurt
which causes us to be cluttered
you were there
when it mattered
when windows looked opaque
and when they were shattered
you put capital letters
on my sentences
as they crash down rocky cliffs
you add the always
to the word, missed
you underline so beautifully
and compile a meaningful list
you capture all my countries
whenever we play risk
James Garratt – Monday 19th July 2021
