OUT OF TIME
Fix without knowing
Outside.
self-conscious crippled crimson
inescapable mind time
drink to unify and redeem
yet to boomerang
bleached and stripped
time after time
until grace out of time
a fleeting peace to promise
a new liberty
free from mind and time.
About our author, Simon Measures.
“I’m Simon and I’m an alcoholic. I live in River which is in Kent, UK with my partner Briony. We are converting an old caravan into a children’s bookshop at the moment. In a nutshell I was scared, ashamed, resentful and less than/more than angry type character and I drank alcoholically from day one more or less. I’ve been clean and sober for nearly 17 years which is like totally mental. I really enjoy writing, including comedy, poetry and general stuff pertaining to my experiences. Booze features pretty heavily, as does spirituality and recovery.”
