sweeps in in a broomstick’s slipstream
lays its dead to rest
pulls the plug on the sun
lives in the twilight zone
seeps damp into bones
warms them with fuel debt
drags revellers towards Christmas
on billionaires’ off-shore profits
sells integrity to the highest bidder
throws another dead cat on the table
speaks in Peppa Piglish to hide
the theft of red wall houses
a month for remembering
gunpowder and Flanders,
the fallen, the poppy,
the guy on the fire. O Guido,
O Catesby, the twenty-first century
needs folk with your chutzpah:
we get it, we forgive you.
Come back and finish what you started.
