Beneath the Track (From William Golding's Lord of the Flies)

Creepers and trunks broken, smashed
Witch-like cry; echoed echoed echoed

Thick - was heat - was sand
A pink platform of granite
Uncompromisingly raised four feet jetty

Smiling proudly
Delightedly again, laughed
Like a bomb let him be chief









Darkness of the forest
Still lagoon, blue, green, purple

Piglet SCREAMED
Cut a pig's throat
Stick a pig
Choose a place
Too late

Wacco blue flowers
Wizard coral reef
Smashing boat shaped island


Belongs to us.

  1. I just love the selection of phrases you have arranged. The use of space and punctuation was effective
