Stannous


One of my responses to recent events:


Stannous


That heart is not sturdy

It is mannose

on a hot plate, burning

with plain madness

That heart is made of tin

It is stannous

Thorns spew from that mouth

No more ballasts

That House falls apart now

No more palace

Lies upon lies prepare

a sick canvas

All the painted seas form

a thin channel

New brooms, more lies, or new

routes? New status?

The heart of Britain aches

It needs Gladness

Deep down, up above, there

is a campus

Its healing rescues now

Bye bye stannous

Thanks, Stephen
