An offering for #fragmentsfriday organised by the irrepressible @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social
A Bird in the Living Room

As Magicians spread
a palm of cards, you
offer wings
to choose the feather 
to reverse the trick

Haven't dabbled in #PoemsAbout with @thebrokenspine.co.uk for ages. Here's a little 'un for today's #FaultLines with thanks to @alanparrywriter.co.uk
Reaching for the faultmeter

was locating the positive
and negative terminals
of our disagreement
