counterweight

pontefract

 

 

 

old needles 

drag 

a backdrop 

sputtering

grease and tea, 

 

a tiny glass horse 

shop-bought 

now

sideways 

cracked and tilted

 

a heavy coin 

wedges its cracked base 

for counterweight.

    This poem is built upon stray objects forming a background of a place or person a collector of past and is nostalgic in this regard. It wears cobwebs. Nicely written
