Island Gurus cleansed thy sins, prayers, burning wood and abstinence.
lamenting, grief for your lost time, those rotten years were yours not mine.
Your mask from days without ablution; no lather for your own pollution,
casting laziness in layers, mould and cobwebs, dusty chairs.
Lighting gas as a flirtation, warming up an obligation,
deluded in your potency, planning for your fantasy.
Campaigning for your reputation, striving for lusty recreation,
tell some tales, bag polythene, scout companions for a poly scene.
The bubble bursts, spat out, flavourless, trodden on among the mess,
another shape to photograph, fake it with your autograph.

    Plenty to dwell upon here, Rachel. I never thought I would see the word ‘ablution’ rhyming with another ‘ution’ in a poem. And lusty recreation sounds loadsa fun. This I must read and re-read!

    Oh, and btw, it’s really good to see you back here, Rachel.
