National day
25 of April Portugal's
national day
It so happened my ship, birthed that day
a night Lisbon didn't sleep
Great Jubilation
whores gave their wares for free
thieves didn't steal
and the bar owner splashed brandy.....
generously into your glass
I came back onboard five in the morn
waving a Portuguese banner

The old ship
rust stripped like a Sudanese mule
doomed to carry fleeing people across
a landscape of despair
Why, she floats is a lasting mystery
From one obscure port to another
she finds her way
The captain and the chief are never sober
plays ten-cent poker
The captain signs the manifesto but takes
no interest, what's in the ship's hold
other than massive rats
when did the pair come onboard, was it
when they were young and wore uniforms
and had shiny black shoes inspected
the crew's fingernail...

Rainbow nation
It rained and rained, fine rain but persistent
mountains dissolved, and rocks turned into sand
When the rain stopped, a smooth landscape
of peace and camel dung
Before the deluge, people who had sinned were
stoned to death since this was no longer
possible the sinner had to eat a kilo of carrots
until they turned orange and
were not invited to dinner
or supervised at the supermarket
The authorities thought this was a good idea and
made a color program,
to better classify
left-wingers

rural sunday
Rural Sunday
I sat on a milk ramp by a road
that has not suffered the indignity
to be covered in a black trickle
Sunday!
the sky was eternally blue
I could
standing up, see the sea
the water was azure as well
is azure deeper blue than the sky
or is it a word used by poets in
the hope he will sound romantic?
Fed up sitting there, but I sat
wanted to see a drifting cloud
the immaculate sky
a tall ship crosses the ocean for a while
balance on the horizon
sailing upside down
till it sank under the weight...

the forest man
The forest man
He had bought a cabin in the woods near a lake
he planned to go there after his divorce
with no demand on his time, life would be simpler
first of all, he needed a dog, the one he had
was a poodle, his ex-wife could take the mooch
he needed a strong dog that could feed itself
catching rabbits in the glen
The cabin only had one room, a big room he could
make a kitchen in a corner, for the he needed
a hand pump and dig a Hole for a cisterna.
bedroom and living room together was ok, he had

Here is my hand again
Here is my Hand Again...
Some distance lies between us now,
In all aspects of the word,
Over mountain tops, yet under clouds,
Your whispers are still heard,
Hundreds of miles in between,
My very self and yours,
Yet I can feel you here right by my side,
Like the times spent by the shore,
There's a light in you that always glows,
And I've seen it through dark brush,
Your natural guidance lifts my soul,
And leads me through untouched,
You're the sense of sun following the rain,

To love the sun or a man
A burning bike bound
for the shadowy surface of a sky
in a ceaseless chase of craze, the crazy
know to kneel to kvell
a triumph over tales of truth trapt
I why of his writeness
he grafts greatness and graffiti
on the spill of my skull
and forms the first films a feel of fire
I spell his sapien story, of smoke and spirit
of banishing the baleful with a bone brush
lining a lustre lore in ligaments
hugging the hopeful hues of me
he flares the fine firmament of my feet
and brings the beneath back to below

The Bumblebee
He grew up in a poor household, thought
sofa-beds were the norm, but his mother
an eager reader had many books that were
given and sometimes stolen, often from
those who thought books were decorations
beside a blue vase of flowers.
like many from, poor families, his mother was
A communist, at the time, the only party who
defended the working class.
This was the case until the labor party with
money (possibly dollars) and relentless
propaganda ended the communists' power
When his schooling ended after...

from the morning papers
From the morning papers
We read the woman, a former actress
who stole a prince and was hated by the kingdom
is a duchess selling jam and pottery
Her husband, the prince, looks bewildered
We also notice the woman who was
prime minister, for a very short time found
crawling things on the carpet, given
its former occupant, this was not surprising
The woman with her short reign has
written a book, in the hope of being regarded
as something more than a misses Bean
laying her awkward talent bare in The USA
My view ...

Captain cook
Captain cook
I built a ship in a vale of stones and thorny bushes
It took 24 years and more to set sail on a dream
boat to China
I met her on the blue sea of Malaga, sailed on her
til she was 71, sought refuge in coastal waters
anchorage in the town of Mandalay
Deep sea ships have limited sails from port to port
are not allowed to stray from the chart, set by the man
in charge; every ship looks the same, is practical and sleepless.
Not. once did they let me be in charge; go back to your galley, you mad cook, they bellowed, you...

He is old, lives behind tall walls, his garden is overgrown
Cats prowled for them in a perfect suburban jungle.

As a young man, he had gone to Russia, where hunger
