Three Days On The Trot

Harry Atkinson

Nothing to sweeten my darkest attempt

The fuel in the tank

Every awakening hour

Or two

Struck with bitterness

Shy of a burning desire

This vagabond hides in all that is impure

 

Flush the system

Of those who seldom require gratification

 

Friday afternoon

Just been paid

Am I meant to be at my happiest now

These things fade

 

Burnt tongues

Speak scolded sentences

This vagabond hides

In all that he’s sure

Wanting more

Then more

And now he’s impure
