POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
The experiments continue; elements combine and react; new substances form; old ideas disintegrate; lenses filter, focus and reflect; the scientist and the lab rat – indistinguishable.

I Danced From Foot to Foot
She folds her wings
Like a prophet
Tucks me in
To her bed
Try to save yourself
They warned
From what
I replied
They just sank back
Into our distance
I heard them
As they went
And what was called
And what was true
Passed for something
Passed quickly away
Like her wings
That she unfolded
Pressing me
For consumption
Knowing my programming
Knowing my pre-plan
Aligning it with hers
So perfectly
It had to be untrue
On my lettuce break
Like a prophet
Tucks me in
To her bed
Try to save yourself
They warned
From what
I replied
They just sank back
Into our distance
I heard them
As they went
And what was called
And what was true
Passed for something
Passed quickly away
Like her wings
That she unfolded
Pressing me
For consumption
Knowing my programming
Knowing my pre-plan
Aligning it with hers
So perfectly
It had to be untrue
On my lettuce break

She may bat for the other side
But I can still appreciate her stroke-play

Scene
Lovely romantic thing
I saw Ted there
As Heathcliff
On your moor
Having climbed over
An ancient stone wall
Avoiding the Brontes
For some reason
Unknown to me
Old flames perhaps
Too tender the heart
Or out of respect
For what is given
And what is received
I saw you there too
Running wildly
Through joy & tears
Your dress cold & damp
But flying willingly
In a wicked gale
Of driving rain
And you’re smiling
And he’s laughing
Like the wolf
At & for the fox
Who...

For Me & You
I made a promise
To me & you
To do my best
And see it through
An old promise
Freshly renewed
A vow restored
For me & you
Out of love
And fear too
Of losing me
Of losing you
I did it quick
As power withdrew
In mind & body
And spirit too
For all the gifts
That nature grew
Especially me
Especially you
I swore it sober
I swore it true
For ever & ever
For me & you
To me & you
To do my best
And see it through
An old promise
Freshly renewed
A vow restored
For me & you
Out of love
And fear too
Of losing me
Of losing you
I did it quick
As power withdrew
In mind & body
And spirit too
For all the gifts
That nature grew
Especially me
Especially you
I swore it sober
I swore it true
For ever & ever
For me & you

Let Us Pray
Hello ‘A’
Where are you taking us?
This pleasant Sunday
Through your lovely fields
Full of flowers
Swaying to your breeze
Restraint
I’m practicing
Down at your knees
My head in your lap
You stroke it gently
More than I deserve
Knowing full well
Where we are at and
What I might observe
Where are you taking us?
This pleasant Sunday
Through your lovely fields
Full of flowers
Swaying to your breeze
Restraint
I’m practicing
Down at your knees
My head in your lap
You stroke it gently
More than I deserve
Knowing full well
Where we are at and
What I might observe

A Choir
She thinks it’s about her
And maybe it is
A knot tightens
No sign of fray
I want to be her hymn book
Balanced on her knee
I want to feel her hand
Every finger
I want to feel her thigh
And have it feel me
I want to hear
Her pages turning
Join in every hymn
With her
Loudly
Joyously
Remembering
Who to worship
God & goddess
And us, just maybe
And maybe it is
A knot tightens
No sign of fray
I want to be her hymn book
Balanced on her knee
I want to feel her hand
Every finger
I want to feel her thigh
And have it feel me
I want to hear
Her pages turning
Join in every hymn
With her
Loudly
Joyously
Remembering
Who to worship
God & goddess
And us, just maybe

Thor
I love the pauses
In your silence
With much thinking &
Arranging to do
A spark or two
Emit from my anvil
As I hammer
A thing for you
In your silence
With much thinking &
Arranging to do
A spark or two
Emit from my anvil
As I hammer
A thing for you

Innuendo
She doesn’t mind a bumpy ride
To get to her destination
I smile without & within
Holding my ticket to glory
A flute, a lute, a sigh
The tinkle of piano, keys
She’s on top, I’m far below
Lengthening my stride
To get to her destination
I smile without & within
Holding my ticket to glory
A flute, a lute, a sigh
The tinkle of piano, keys
She’s on top, I’m far below
Lengthening my stride

Figuring It Out
36-26 …
Now what’s the other number?
Another 36
In honour of symmetry
Something more or less
In honour of certain predilections
Thin broadening to voluptuous
In honour of all that love
A little lust perhaps
My spoon glistening
With give & take
My psychosis
Half a ward deep
Half a word deep
He saves a little
Of his protestant thrift
Edging it out for tomorrow
And all songs sing toward the sea
I’d like to take you home with me
I’d like to peek behind your curtain
Full of love gone too fast ...

Suitably Contrite
I’m sorry V
I’ve been terribly unfaithful
Stephanie has drained me
Only Rachmaninoff might
Relight my wanting fuse
I’m so unworthy
But something mad & pounding
Might recall my hunger
That old insatiable thirst
With you in tights
Me under your piano
Massaging your feet
So make it Russian
And make it strong
Played by some diva
In an evening dress
Backless of course
Plunging neckline
I’m thinking blue
Maybe green depending
On her hair colour
No...
