Sozopol

This year we are holidaying in the ancient resort of Sozopol, Bulgaria, as our daughter has refused to go to the Greek islands again !




POLICEMAN OF THE HUMAN HEART

We didn’t really plan
to visit Bulgaria
where the women are vast
and so much hairier

Why not stay at home ?
Afraid to step out,
feeling much worse;
instead of a shout

in the real world
of human exchange
- large bricks are hurled
at somebody strange

and it’s always sinners
casting heavy stones;
so obsessed by winners,
fashion bags of bones

but I will find real beauty
in the streets of Sozopol
because it is my duty
to act like Interpol

firm, but fair – arresting
miraculous human hearts,
and they will be protesting
while surrendering, like tarts
