“After the Storm” by Holly Anderson
ramshackle lives
knocked about
in the storm
grasp for ethics
no matter the
provenance any
slight handhold
gains expedient
purchase false
principles swarm
helter-skelter
in violent air
immoralities clash
for supremacy
over the winds
that uproot with
ease weightless
tenuous minds
From my book Bohemian Scents
After a war, when ‘better’ rarely is better, just not as before. You, Paul are a miner for metaphors supreme.
