New Poetry by Jonathan Beale

When the clock catches up

For J.S. i.m. perhaps

Time rips through the flesh

Remorselessly – blind in blood 

Bricks - mortar - stone

Remain….  Still remain

Girls in their youths colour

Breath life 

The boys in their idealism

Divine the path

Endings are an impossibility

Yet find a way    

Another way

An undiscovered way

‘Be calm. God awaits you at the door.’ *

- Jonathan Beale 2016

* Gabriel Garcia Marquez, "Love in the Time of Cholera"
