George Duncan
I'm an amateur writer, born and bred in Peterhead, who recently took up poetry as an additional means of creative communication. My influences range from fantasy fiction, ancient history and mythology, to science fact, metaphysics and modern rock music. I now live in Aberdeen, on a hill, near a river.
Poems
DRIVING WIND
I signal and manoeuvre
along calloused roads to home,
where worrying gusts tug limply
at feather-frayed litter,
imploring the impossible
before my wheels.
I discard concern for this
crumpled seagull ahead;
back-crushed and aghast,
its neck lolls slow around
that crack-winged pulp
of slovenly reaction.
With beak and guts
agape,
it screams at the sky,
cries to the clouds,
wails for the winds
to blow away the pain.
I cringe within mirrors,
at such burdensome consequences...
