TT 13 - 'Warning'

Eric leafs through St Maggie's Newsletter. "Ah." He stops at page 22. "They've put it in." He supresses a smile of pride, and reads his poem again.


WARNING

Tilted necks -
Suddenly the eyes see
like old cans strung across waste ground
glistening fish thumping as the gills bite
suddenly on air.
The sewers gush detritus
shaking up
the mermaid plunges
and comes up gasping for breath.

Eric Briding


He is only annoyed slightly to see that it has been relegated to the corner of a full-page feature introducing two new members of staff at Ellison and Copp, the local estate agents.
