Gold Finger

The greatest things in life never have a price tag. Often it feels the things we do not want come easily and the things we do, evade us. We succeed but not in the manner we desire try as we might.

The Standing Man

Ten men of Midas stand
roll, turn green on vegetables and
haemorrhage red on being dumped.
They survive
sit in Midas pocket like unwanted guests
come back like boomerangs
into an empty home.
