Tactile Glass – Written Saturday 28th January 2023 (Aged 47)

Tactile Glass

there is no happiness
in windows of tactile glass
especially when –
all of your views travel by so fast
and you will be served –
by a well of truth
as you dance in iron wellingtons
on a troubled roof
what does it mean –
to be a good person
when the battlefield rages
with troubled people
and hope locked in cages
and what does it mean
when windows shatter with ease
what do you learn –
for the high price of tuition fees




James Garratt – Saturday 28th January 2023
