Poem by Alain Mombrinie (2016)

Nomadic thighs at Circumstance Falls, if paradise crumble foddered your demise you’d be sandalled, suitcase and blister.

Walkers stomaching retrained umbrellas as reasonable forecasts shower pinstriped assimilation quotas commemorating forgotten slaughters in aegean transit aquariums.

Ahoy drift of abdicated headstones, trespass the puddle afloat closed doormats… Davy Jones welcomes rafts.

Wanton eyepatchery from the mariner’s crow-perch, as misfortune’s roulette spawns our siblings’ last gasps… stuff of taxidermy dust for sunday’s tabloid porn & rattled tea anxiety!

Pretend a whim of larva had say ‘bout butterfly’s glitter yet what choice have we of womb & crib?

Gone damned with the winds my dears, your journeys worthy of courage’s awe!

If any of us had started life elsewhere than luck had it, ponder… what refugee status might be yours?
