' ' ' ' ' 'The Moaning After The Night Before

Rating: 2.8


The crab
out on the piss

the night before
wakes to find herself

in an ever
dwindling rockpool.

The sun
an angry hangover.

Hung over
thel edge

she attempts to
claw her way out

scuttle away
only to find herself foiled

her path
to the sea

cut off
by the tiny giant humans

armed with squeals & sticks
bravado & fear.

'Outtamyway! '
she snaps

heading for the sea
oh so far...away!
