Black and oppressed
she shuffles through the park.
In her shopping bag,
only the scales of justice.
Tomorrow's hope, things might change
but the Jury is out
and the verdict is guilty.
Slate Grey Sea
Green causeways with fathomless riders
bridled to offshore islands.
Sombre - unyielding.
Stark sentinel of rock,
open the morning and close the day.
Stand in your own silence.
Timepiece - unmoved.
