Rusted
Old and very rusted
Feeling a little busted
But still much trusted

Creatures of the Back Yard
They are strange and rusted
Quite possibly really busted
Those little peculiar creatures
Of my own back yard
It’s all part of nature
Despite the man made feature
Those little odd beasties
Of my own back yard
You really got to love them
They may be impure gems
Those little strange beings
Of my own back yard

‘CAMERA LUCIDA’ – METAL
Silver, copper, rust
Maybe even a little dust
Streetlights built of heavy metal
Into the lift, no need for pedals
Old machines getting a new start
As being cultured objet d’arts
The strongest of coffees
Brewed in a rusted pot
Down the drain the water flows
Where it goes, no one knows
