may we all be heard
words are bells
let them ring!

words as orphans


they had parents one-antiquarians
dusty books and elder tales
shared with a child on each knee

now they are text/flash fiction
sound and fury

around them,seashells gather
as fish within a wreck
alluding to TITANIC

coracle oracles
rocking waves
flash mobs

splashed agents 
signed contracts
book deals

anorexic truths
slim volumes
cut lions

YOU ARE HERE!
sign in a Mall
but you are not.

another age
reminescences
when words were...

now we talk 
of Golden Ages
aluminium spy satellites

critics praise the baby
orphans cry for loss
there is no art in innocence
