Railing. Poem by Ian Kellett

In the breaks between your conscious
Trawling
Sleep but leave the day its early morning
Bait;
Fall into your new ruffled nest clean scraped of
Nettle mess,
And while away the hours until sunlight spends its
Energy again.

Unfold from post fetal rolls and shine
Brightly;
Blips and beeping interruptions greeted
Well.
Exercise if needed but if not breeze easily
Upon the strength of dawn,
And bind yourself as tidily as possible to your
Day’s frame.

Speak with heavy blotters handy if
Required,
But do not allow your words to be too
Blurred,
For in the clarity of your repeating echoes
Lay the secrets of achievement,
And if some little wisdoms catch in nets you
May well find the peace you need.
