Savvy Poem – Towyn

Block upon block of blocks

Blocking the view of the blocks that front up to the sea

that was

the sea

before it became the block

that stopped the girls of this town from drifting away

from the block-headed boys they did not

choose to be blocked

in by –

the boys with the bags of white powder

to be passed around at profit,

like the girls – the girls, passed around

at profit.

 

These are the girls – the same girls who

made clouds, puffing their last breaths into the

heads of not-quite-dead-yet dandelions.

puffing out wishes

of a not-quite-dead-yet future.
