#vss365 #palimpsest For context: In post-war Britain, versions of the 'No Blacks, No Dogs, No Irish' sign openly barred Caribbean and Irish migrants from pubs, shops, and lodgings. This piece scratches at the erasure and layers of that history.

Of course you can save and share them! On being 'amazingly prolific,' I must confess that some of these poems were written years ago. I dig them out of my notebooks. So please, save and share away—I’m truly honoured that you do. They have lived in the dark of a closed notebook for too long now.

Thank you Amy. You've put your finger on the thing I couldn't quite say plainly "The irony of aloneness that lives in empathy" that's the whole poem, better than I said it. Grateful you read it that way. 💙

Write a poem about that very experience. If you want to do more then do it.

When loyalty requires you to ignore reality. Loyalty stands beside someone while they face the truth. Participation in their damage stands between them and the truth.
