Where is that handbasket full of poems that I'll be going to Hell in? The flames are rising...searing the Phoenix...and there's a hole in the bucket...it doesn't hold much water.

We tend to make ashes of ourselves, don't we.

A good statement, j. Very true.

Destruction is the devil's work and there is plenty of it going on here. Hard to rise out of the ashes when there is so much wearing us down. Multi layered and clever with it.

The artist is 'his' own worst critic I am told and here you pick up the theme in a flowing self depreciating piece filled with a heap of pathos!
