Log and Daily missive from the 16th of April 2018.

Of course the other side of this is that even my prose is a waste of time...it has barely sold and when I have sent it off it has been rejected so perhaps the whole exercise is just one long vanity trip…

If what I write is edited by an impartial and objective third person surely it will sharpen it up and help me to make it more acceptable for publication...even if I do it myself again...but not as a vanity project...I want people to want to read it.

All I need to do is get up have a quick wash and teeth clean and dress...the eating, drinking and ablutions can wait until I have checked in...it makes sense.

Gas and Air.

No matter the washing or

The wringing of hands

With eyes averted

To avoid the scene

Deny a truth

Blood stains.

Rinse out the bowl

Run fresh water freely

Crystal clear

From a mountain stream

To soak your sins

Blood stains.

Fly high the eagle

Watch it swoop

On the unwitting

Rabbit caught in

The limelight

Blood stains.

Throw out the rags

Wrap yourself in pure wool

Expensive clothing

Of your choice

You are still a wolf

Biting back is what you do

And blood stains.
