“Handsome words don't butter cabbage.” German saying
And my writing prompt for today is going to be ... ugly words.

Ugly words
turn of beauty
paraphrased
can not look beyond fire-rim
circling a dark sky in autumn
So much to say and so little
time in which to speak our
selves silly in the long run
Sagas - epics - fairytale of
Cinderella and Snow White
fighting on a patch of wasteland
at Ballymun flats for Prince
Charming in a reved-up Ford Capri
or was it a Cortina my scent of
Mersey?
In plaid scarve and practical duffle
we'll go up the top of Bold Streeet and drink tea at the Cafe Tabac
make one last pilgrimage to Quiggans
and touch a dissapearing sky we'll
return to one day
when life's last gasp is gulped
and gone.
Through the laneways of Liverpool we'll lose ourselves.
