Possession

by Richard Trotter

There is no understanding
spinning heads and strange aquatic eyes
granite words cloud the sun
and drown the Christmas cavalcade.
Not a single answer
when feet pound the woodcrushed lane
round the imagined sins factory,
this anguish is playful
like the devil on cocaine.
