Schoolboy (June 2013)

Schoolboy
Searching for that
Diamond in the flood
Inundated
Optimist obliterated by the
Pressure of creation
Constrained and constraining
Further
Restricting supply of air to lungs
Blood through heart carrying the vital bubble of future
Innocence transported t'ward the next time fire
Next live wire church spire
aspiration
Soars
blocked airway from breath sharply drawn inward
Respiration
paused
Anything anybody anyone throwing a circle of red striped hope my way
Could push restart with that simple indulgence
As they have done before
