Poems by Karl Consiglio

A collection of 93 poems infused with a vapourific view of the author’s own alcohol-induced take on life, the world and the culture he inhabits. Karl Consiglio writes as he thinks and makes no concession to language snobbery or class distinctions. It’s as raw as flesh, so if it hurts at least you know you’re still alive. Challenging, refreshing and darkly cynical, they are also an incisive portrait of what it was like for anyone growing up around Paceville in the late 80’s and early 90’s.

Poems by Karl Consiglio

Dirty Fields

We were kids

Playing in a dirty field

I found myself

Some wire

I began to spin it

Like a propeller

An old man

Appeared out of nowhere

And approached me

“Hello” he said with a sneaky tone

And as he got closer

I accidentally struck him

With the wire I was spinning

“You hurt me” he said

And walked off

And I resumed to my play

In the distance

I see him bending down

And my little brother giving him a kiss

On his bald patch.
