Whitecoats in Cornwall
G-7 summit, June 2021
Signpost’s bend in wind
Hand signalled regulation,
Do they take risks? The great seven
Arrive at Cornwall’s parched Eden
The regal cake sliced, with a sabre,
When Joe met Boris, did the fields pulse?
Between dirt and the astrology of stars
Anglo-Saxon worlds are now called
to answer for capitalists’ moral standards.
Sieve the tides clean, that patriarchal
house full of rooms,
perspectives from those windows, environmental
or social,
rarely equal. Angels and Devils scorched
hell.
Macron calls, in lingua franca, for a
stronger house,
Europe, if not an object, could speak
Mandarin
bring the bacon to Brussels . Soothe that
dragon.
While the media clamour, collude, over red
dresses
Or whitecoats , swirled mist from the
Atlantic drifts in.
Will corn fields burn after the grain is
collected?
