Not So Inclement Poem by Keith Shorrocks Johnson

Not So Inclement



what a holy-f farrago
on St Clement's imago
reliquary attested
bone chip divested

bit of sanctified body
humped into the lorry
dustbin man leathers
tossing lost scapulars

come the end-time event
no more trash or lament

tip trip rag and bony
dumping sacramental baloney
higgins&doolittle yet may care
last load-drop compacted there

sorted out from refuse dishonour
ossiferous amulet almost a goner
rescued by a lower force
salvaging bin hire power remorse
scavenging souls its last recourse
