Come And See by Strider Marcus Jones

you don’t have to be extreme

to be content,

other forces feed

this show-

they build on what has been

and mingle with consent,

then roam the rivers we invent-

using nature and nurture’s seed

to make it grow.

unshade your grey, reclusive hours

and play your made, profusive flowers

all the way:

don’t let regret upset your dream-

it’s all it’s light has been

and make what it empowers

from today.

but hark at me!

not knowing

what i’m sowing

day to day

deliberately-

and yet, i know it’s coming,

comes from going

out of me-

what i don’t make, i borrow-

come and see.

Knots in Strings
Posted on July 31, 2015 by Strider Marcus Jones

so what

if knots

in strings

bring an end to things

that were.

i can undo her

tapestry

make it gone

and move what measures on

the raft of be.

found in mound and moat

elements made unmade

sink and float

convex and concave

funnel inside wave.

spiny gorse

not in bloom

sits inside a horse

to be taken in, fate from giving

creates a living tomb.

Poems for a Liminal Age is an anthology published by SPM Publications in support of Medecins Sans Frontieres.

Poems for a Liminal Age offers a view of the way a certain group of people at a certain time in their planet’s history see their lives and the world they live in. The poems, taken together, make for fascinating if not comfortable reading. Many present an impression of bleakness in situations of confusion, loneliness, sickness, mediocrity and boredom. There is a sense of waste, of goodness being squandered, of corruption, brutality and loss. Other poems, however, evoke a sense of becoming, a feeling for nostalgia, beauty, trust and friendship, an impression of longing and the possibility of vision.
