White Matter Disease

 ( after KK "fairytale")

There was a pile of firewood waiting to be burnt

for the party

we were looking for the lost poets

(always) in this house of mine

something lost

the faster I go the less it gets done so I tend to pick up

poets and mingle them

with other things 

all unlike

 the higgledy-piggeldeys

all in shifting stacks

carried while talking

into another room

eventually we find them

when visitors come to stay

they are

unearthed

beneath the sofa beds

poking out of filing cabinets

beguiling the way back into a rotation

in the lounge

how that one lost poet got in that woodpile

and was burned

still escapes us all
