Poetry My Arse

The Last Breath Poet
March 8, 2026
Black and white photograph of an old wooden fishing boat with peeling paint, propped up out of the water.

Poetry my arse.
What good are words
against test results
against waiting
against nights so long.
They forget morning exists?

Words don’t cure.
They don’t rescue.
They just sit beside you
and won’t bugger off
when things get dark.

So yeah, poetry my arse…
but pass me the pen.
