Comeclose and Sleepnow

it is afterwards
and you talk on tiptoe
happy to be part
of the darkness
lips becoming limp
a prelude to tiredness.
Comeclose and Sleepnow
for in the morning
when a policeman
disguised as the sun
creeps into the room
and your mother
disguised as birds
calls from the trees
you will put on a dress of guilt
and shoes of broken high ideals
and refusing coffee
run
alltheway
h o m e Poem by Roger McGough




Finally, came across something in my English Language module i enjoyed. Hope you all like it!

i had a maths teacher called mr mcgough once.

no, not 'had' in that sense. cant remember his first name though. maybe he's THE roger mcgough. or perhaps i recognise it because one of his poems was in my gcse lit anthology. perhaps we'll never know.
