A Lark
on the centenary of Philip Larkin's birth,
August 9th, 1922
Cannot scan as well, of course.
The dude in glasses better than that,
as always as in other things,
would note that even this is poor.
But when you've both let down your share
of boys and girls and other meats,
and been a bastard of a gent,
you feel as if you know a chap.
And even if my poem's crap,
the store unkept and left bereft
of Whitsun's wedding bells,
deceptions leave a window cleft.
And in that window age looks out, ...

immersed
fond of dark and
dingy provincial museums where people
keep their voices down
in the basements one imagines the worst

Dancer in Flames
She is a witch, of course. No girl of Autocratic Faith
could spark a light with just her feet, and stamp so hard
on treading-boards that little bones in ankles break
and fire singes thighs, yet all is healed by Monday morn
and no impression left behind to make a theatre owner red.
She is as dead in Father’s eyes as living on His earth.
And so she turns and turning burns again; a mock
of bridal gowns adorns the statuesque supports.
(These are the rich man’s peasant thoughts.)
She’s billed as “Ann, the Daughter of the Son of Thorns,

The Tale of Miss Borden
a civil war child
she was contentious from the start
hitting dolls with sticks and stones
began she the whacking art
Churchy
she attended church
twice on sundays

dressed like a rich bouquet
absorbed the mindless sermons

the prayers she said

My Grandmother’s Bureau
Old people’s homes, in my experience,
always seem to have a large bureau.
A cabinet on four legs
like a possessed piece of furniture
in a Disney cartoon, perhaps which once
had been an old French butler, called Renee.
My grandmother’s featured rows of ornaments,
little china houses and Dutch children drawing
their water from wells. There was also a section
for alcoholic drinks, a cabinet whose door
could hang from chains like a drawbridge and
so serve as a bartender’s mixing station.
Such items must have seemed so chic in...

Faggots
The roots of language always tell
the bitter edge of things.
A box of gobs of charred offal
can also be something evil:
a group of men become ashes,
and just for fucking other men.

Murder, Motive, and Memory: A Little Essay on Agatha Christie
The best encapsulation of detective novelist and “Queen of Crime” Agatha Christie’s appeal came, I think, from the poet Stevie Smith, in a review she wrote of Christie’s late novel, 1967’s Endless Night: “I mostly read Agatha Christie this year (and every year). I wish I could write more about what she does for one in the way of lifting the weight, and so on."
I myself read Agatha Christie as a child and am still very fond of her. I like reading her work in paperback form, as published by Fontana with those beautiful and eccentric covers. I return to Christie whenever I need...
