PEACE BE WITH ME

Magnetised fragments
of insurance contracts
cavort and gambol
across perplexing fields
of disconsolation

Surveyor's estimates
prickle the sensuous morning
with their amusing
clown-like pranks

The phantoms of
itemised accountants
merge into autumnal silence
while the ghosts of their dreams
make love to the twilight

The art of auditing;
the relentless beauty
of spreadsheets,
hung out to dry
