Viewpoint

my view has changed,

not my opinions

my view has changed

180 degrees, front to back

a dramatic reversal,

yesterday a leafy

sedately quiet cul-de-sac

today, a vibrant cityscape

I have moved office, not

without guilt I must add

and there has been blood,

I have been forced to cull

my beloved library

one hundred volumes

recycled to charity, to be

re-homed elsewhere but

by whom I now wonder?

outside in the dark

the new cityscape bristles

with cynical pin-pricks

of light, near-distant eyes

asking, accusing,

‘what’s wrong

what have you done’
