'Alertism' Collect Connect October 2023

 Swift (Polymer Clay) at Cropthorne Mill

 

Swift Alert 

Over furnaced greying streets

They used to streak

Defying gentler Hirundine

With impossible Nazgûl  screams.

 

The sharpest curves of summer

Through bladed charcoal flight

Now sundered from city skies

Suddenly going Swift.
