On seperation
Of all voices
the one most poignant
says change
has been minimal
I was already here
some years ago

Can't build a bridge without breaking skin
The walk from my mother's house
took about two minutes
i don't remember thinking much
exept how unpoetic it all felt
The sky was a mass of grey
it nearly rained, nearly snowed
and for a couple of seconds
the sun nearly showed signs
of a minor breakthrough
I tapped on a window, took a step back
and braced myself
he was a bit more built
than hoped for
and his eyes hinted ...

Said a poet to another who deserved better
The juncture would be timeless
were it not for the starved eyes :
silent
like the bolt
of a crossbow
in flight
soft
like snow fall
on a windless
night
(())
I give up
but I don't
surrender
or want to
remember
anything past
a tiny
pink ribbon
were it not for the starved eyes :
silent
like the bolt
of a crossbow
in flight
soft
like snow fall
on a windless
night

Go slow sweet moon
Hardly worth writing
the bad days
when most every street corner
throws up someone
way worse off
It's said anyway
if your eyes are tuned in
Good thing
about between days
is as long as that moon
owns the sky
there'll be no tomorrow

Before the calm. ( collaboration with Jack Heslop )
Boil the blood, then drain the heart :
a sense of mist
a profanity hissed
a witch's brew to be dismissed
by all who'd loathe to tear apart...
a fair foul with fair force
[ you pluck the knife
slit the scar
add a splash of vinegar ]
2.
We climbed the fabled steps
and found nothing.
no gods, no men, just an old
and empty room. all too soon
those simple cries of agony
became howls of rage;
betrayed by hate
we found...

a witch's brew to be dismissed
by all who'd loathe to tear apart...

A memory escaped me, like many of its nature: a to b etc
The road forked
and we held hands
until the gap
between our paths
grew larger
than arms length
and we held hands

Without borders
..and it applies
to people too", he said
"you'll see when you get older"
we got out of the car
me, with a bundle of clothes
under my arm
Aunt Lena
already had her front door open
could smell the gas cooker
heating the tea
and she wanted
to have it on the table
for when my Dad and me
sat down
I loved her for it
and I loved her
for the way she talked to me
despite the trouble
I was in
she winked at my Dad
looked at me
said "none of that...
to people too", he said

Sin of sixpence
Christy said
he'd felt like an old balloon
with a mild case
of deflation
you know
the progression of such things
will have it
a limp spent spectacle
til a pair of lips
blow some air back into it
I told him he was lucky
to have a pair of lips handy
went home
and watered the cactus
on the off-chance
it was sick for the want of it
and I hadn't noticed

Fear of the bomb
I'd one arm around her
and one foot
in the door of a bunker
down town Nagasaki
where we split atoms
and gave organs away
with one eye on the sky
always on the sky
and one foot
in the door of a bunker
down town Nagasaki
where we split atoms
and gave organs away
with one eye on the sky

Many moons ago [poetry for the cynic]
it's a hard-sold revolution
gone cold, for the want of a martyr
and not a colour left to die for
behold the centenary!
and we lined the streets
just like the others
lined them
for King George

..
never laid eyes
on her
never held her hand
or brushed her hair
or sat on a sofa
and hummed a melody
to her
while she fell asleep
in my arms
because
I've never
given
her mother
benefit
of the doubt
don't know I ever will
I think of her
at times
times which belong
in photograph
fourteen
so there's
no immediate plans
to throw her life
into disarray [/i]
