HM Berridge of The Vale of Catmose
stricken to white shuddering,,
a bell curves from the CSJ* its fount of life,
desiccating birthhouses
to rove at the sill with a Bobby heritability
curling Baroness Biblica Berridge
to a cursed gurgle:
‘I do wish that some in the Communion
& in the C of E leadership would appreciate that
Conservatives care about poverty;
but we believe it is solved by strong families,
education, & work.’
Philippanthropie Pure with you, O
piercing luminary of social utility
under a tightened screw
in family based arrangements wrought
to be infected,, a teary Christian crosses in public
tossing Lebensborn e.V.
around the green laid paper
a deep, white scar snakes to the underside of
the British Religious Right
under Companies House
goes quiet
the boat length its nautical mile streamlining
statutory C.A.R.E & now all is forgotten,
a voice stammering mantra:
‘the Biblical family life is highly valued,
godly parented taught & practiced,
where husband & wife embrace
male servant leadership & joyful
female submission’

meta-knives, clicking ha'p'orth
divine aid & its altimeter speaking in eaten roses
& blame ailing the reformation of manners
a child out of each sallied deficit
eyes in crude surfeit, it is pleasing to witness
asperities gradually weaning
& roughnesses mellowing,
the subject of this happy change
experiences within, increasing measures
of comfort which diffuse around
the genial influences of that heavenly flame
which can thus give life,
& warmth & action,
to what had been hitherto rigid & trite,
& a drooping heart,, gathered inside
Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty,

Our Heavenly Benefactor,,
The Family Breakdown Working Group
to report a template, audible crags
sinks through the theme of
some transient song,, unsung
a single name a good heart:
beneath the gelding falls
the closing ranks
cheeps out its own mew
to rend this dotage
as you go encroaching epiphanies,
Intergenerational Montgomeries
on blighted transmissions pale
legacies of boreholes weakly corked
the Chairman of the Social Justice Policy Group
as good as breaking Beveridge’s

Tomorrow? Today?
O very humble, generational pickerings
terrible to see furies punishing
as they thread & thrum
all that lived, or liked, or loved
under dadless sermons
from two past downturns
a child's evangelical scalar blowpipe concertinaed
The Red Tape Challenge
laid to rest the entire service of my love,
its dynamic modelling & choices made simple optimisms
hasten the corner of high walls,
the blocks of flats, all those grey, blind windows,
pouring out onto the courtyard
hands clutched round chests
eyes away from it all, up the hill
the faint light that flickers from
my flag beside the minutes of silence,
putting to shame all ‘minutes of silence’
anywhere, at any time, under any flag.
