Steve Shepherd: a poem



demolition


we have raised children

who are brutal.

I reject your ideas

and I question your motives

they bark.

after the fighting, still and quiet,

we sit

like some intelligent machine

that painstakingly constructs itself

only to discover its purpose

is self-demolition



Steve Shepherd writes poems and takes photographs. He used to make radio programmes, mostly jazz.
