Jar On The Shelf
i am only trying to save myself
from being –
that jar on the shelf
full of sweets
but submerged in complications
and lacking a steady beat
i am only trying to stem my hurt
from falling to the floor
where it pleads poverty
whilst contemplating hordes
James Garratt – Wednesday 30th December 2009
