James Jefferys - Orphan (For the Rest of His Life)

All five fingertips connect
With the plea ‘collapse the traps’
There’s a little mother in all of us
Who wants to do exactly that
So we can all just let them get away
And have our chase another day

No love

…Caused the orphan to ask questions
Of his patchy life thus far
“Where are all the photographs?
Was I born aged five?”
“You were born at nine am,
That’s when you came alive.”

No love

The quiet day, the noisy night, the way it’s working out
Is good for me
As it takes my head
To places where things better left unsaid
Stay unsaid
Forever corked under cellar doors,
Never washed on foreign shores
Never read by glaring eyes
Unsaid is the parasite…
