SPYTONE 1003

I live in the somewhere else
In the in-between
I walk like a ghost
Dream like a host
To an alien form
My allegiance torn
My purpose born
But not discovered
¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤
I am an ant on a trail
Am a burrowed snail
Of tortured moments shared
But not forgotten
For the perceptive
And the shallow
I am inward, bent
Mysterious yet callow
¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤
The interrogator’s smile
So back in style
Now placed on file
Like many friends and trinkets
Who mention love
With a surgeon’s glove
Then stand aside
To murder then to profit
¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤

#Authors Note: An Ode to Espionage – ‘the forgotten word’. I wrote this piece in 2014 at a time when SPYDOM appeared to have gone quiet and the so-called Post-war spies of the COLD-WAR era seemed a long way away, if not completely forgotten! This poem belongs to a group of what might be termed Jazz-poems which in turn form part of a wider collection of Prog-prose – my classification. They are not intended to be romantic, symbolic, not politic right-wing, left-wing subversive, humanist or liberal-organic. They are poems that are visual, personal reflections sometimes based on my own fears and concerns that may contain latent, personal opinion. Other than that they are just groups of words. edenbraytoday
