Baggage
you write me poems full of regret,
might’ve beens and could’ve beens,
we meet in the lover’s bar
at the dark end of the street,
you in your Zorro disguise,
me in a Venetian mask
inlaid with gold, sparks arc
when our fingertips touch
across the tabletop
yet, through the eye-slits
I glimpse them sat around you
the grandfather who abused you
the lover who betrayed you
the leering boyfriend who eyes-up
the waitress in the restaurant
I’m outnumbered
my voice is drowned,
after all, that’s what men do,
they let you...

TEXTS OF FESTIVAL/ THE REALITY SHOW
some festivals last a lifetime
others last just four days
you’re the strobe-storm
that blinds me
from stage to stage,
the sweet intoxication
we inhale, exchanged
from mouth to mouth
rolling beneath the sky,
we share the same stars
divide them up between us,
you can have that one
I'll have this one,
we can be the two stars
that orbit each other
in separate space, but
close enough to feel
the pull of our gravity
love comes to catch us unawares
while we’re looking the other way,
words attempt, and...

ACT OF GROSS INDECENCY: COTTAGING IN THORNES PARK
when they came at us
out of the shadows
restraining with words and
fingers meshed tight as traps,
when they held us,
you sobbing,
in a room of slatted light
and a desk of polished wood
and an air of faint disgust
when they read the charges,
levelled the fines and
reported it in the press
they called it an
act of gross indecency
only we knew
and shared the moments
as an act of Love
out of the shadows
restraining with words and
fingers meshed tight as traps,
when they held us,
you sobbing,
in a room of slatted light
and a desk of polished wood
and an air of faint disgust
when they read the charges,
levelled the fines and
reported it in the press
they called it an
act of gross indecency
only we knew
and shared the moments
as an act of Love

A STATISTICAL ROMANCE/ LOVE & THE POLITICS OF NEMESIS
went to this
online dating site,
but when you get to
the status column there
are just 4 tick-box options
–straight
–gay
–bi, or
–in a relationship
…six billion people
on the planet, and they
give you just 4 options…?

EVERYONE’S DOING ORAL SEX / FOR PEOPLE OF UNCERTAIN MORALS
I believe my mental condition is extremely illegal...’ (anon)
In ‘Cosmopolitan’ questionnaires
in Hotels, Motels and Ikea chairs,
in Citroens, Renaults and Mobile Homes
in Good-Sex-Guides in ‘Woman’s Own’
everyone’s doing oral sex...
with lovers or partners, planned or unplanned
in intense affairs or one-night stands,
some even do it like shaking hands,
for when it gets down to lubricating glands
simply everyone’s doing oral sex...
Olive does Popeye, and they feel fine,
Batman and Robin sixty-nine,
in Boardrooms and...
