Don't laugh: this might be a song - or at least the lyrics - for @alanparry83.bsky.social#poemsabout#nostalgia#poem#poetry#poetrycommunity#news

= with uniform applause =

tighter boots and kipper thighs
epaulettes and leather ties
edged motifs on bloody flags 
bleak barbed wires and body bags
but hush now -  don't mention that
or razor cuts with funny hats
raise your arms now
raise them high
call for dark wings 
and screaming skies
brash old dreams becoming ripe
to rot tomorrow

It was I who finished her gasp. I smiled at the old witch back across the table, at the realisation behind those rheumy eyes that more than cards had switched. I plucked my real Tarot deck from her/my almost nerveless hand, and swiftly left the tent, to enjoy another stolen life.

Yes. Enjoying the meeting hall and not thinking about the landlord: a few are hanging placards on the door, waiting to get evicted.
