Blue Shropshire Poem by Alistair Graham

Blue Shropshire



I

I pluck the block
as I pass by
I journey to the kitchen door

Dorrit pees a pee
on the grass
A concentration of nitrogen
Dilute or die

Eggs are boiling
in stainless steal
Caged hens no longer free

II

My bib is stained
with suffering

III

I ignore the knife
and pluck again, the block
Crumble from wrapper
like rich compost

Fetch the crackers
from the shelf
The sofa
Little Dorrit, up
