Ants
Jack Bennett
Feb 2018
Ants
A violin player
In the street
Playing for food
My ice cream melts
Into the cracks
To feed the ants
That conspire below

By the Sea
Jack Bennett
Feb 2018
By the Sea
Come to the sea
Hold my hand a while
Let the waves melt our feet
Into the sand
The seagulls land
On our shoulders
Calling out to the wind
The salt rust our bodies
How many years will it take
For our light
To burn out
For all sailors to see?

Beginnings and ends
My soul leaps for the sky

Hayfever Haiku

Hayfever Haiku
Lawnmowers mowing
The familiar smell of grass
Leaves my nose sniffing

Mirrors

Mirrors
I'm in a room of mirrors
They're each telling me something different
About myself
The mirror I should listen to
Is the one that reflects my heart

Heaven only knows
The lengths I'd go to hold you
Chasing the moons face

Moth-Like
Jack Bennett
Feb 2018
Moth-Like
Streets lined with colours
That beg to be bought
And we like moths
To the flame
Do flutter our wings
Aggresively smashing our heads
At the windows

Nations, Pride
Jack Bennett
Feb 2018
Nations, Pride
The flags contort and distort
In the air
Writhing in the wind
Nations proud, lie
Humbled at their knees
What is done in the dark
Shall be brought to the light
In full view and truth

Speaking of Love
Jack Bennett
Feb 2018
Speaking of Love
Speak of love
I'll be there
A bunch of daffodils
In my hand
We walk the hills
I work the tills
To put money in their hands
And mine

The Rising Sun That Didn't Rise At All

The Rising Sun That Didn't Rise At All
If the sun doesn't rise
Then Japan was wrong
And the emperor should abdicate
Most definitely
