Colin Dardis : Post Brexit Blues

​"Call us the Bastard Wing of Europe,
    a Kneecapped Ulysses,
    Little Island Floating in its own Ennui.

Call us Goat Sacrificed By Greed,
    Undrinkable Water Found In A Stream
    Running Past a Deconsecrated Church.
    A See-Saw of Drunken Economists."

​A broadside of five poems released on Friday 31st January to mark (commiserate) the United Kingdom leaving the European Union.
