Lifted you
by the hips
above my head

Gazed at you outlined
against azure sky

So small so trim
so light I worry
that a breeze may
carry you away

The last free people
On earth

Where are they now?

Dining alone at a truck stop

Looking for home

This moment only

No preparation

(end of the world)

Billions of crystals
Shone in
Streetlamp.

Milky Way
Fallen to
Earth,

In universal implosion
Black scattered to
White

In silt from melted
Ice age laid

Young molluscs
And single cells
Wait until

Today

Sudden bubbles
Surface on

Discoursed
River

Narcissus nods agreement with
Gentle breeze slipping across
An iced puddle-

Winter and the air feels clean
But is not;
Sun shines bright but is dim

As aeons dictate

I blame the moon.

Her sinuous rhythm
In tune-
You move to her
*****-
Her Face your Mirror.

My Gravity slips and
We tumble Cold
Into Space

the void
is not void

every direction

spun

hang out the washing!

this springing day

When youth cry

When solitary animal
Slaughtered
In woods not made for man

Apologise for crooked marks
And quest
Unanswerable

Yet still with all
Love in all and
All compassion only

This pathetic
Answer

Inhale my nostril,
Give/take life
For
From
Me.

Young Adam
Made of self

Of other,

How long
Such generation
Re-makes
A man

No Kintsugi may repair
The Wabi Sabi of
A broken heart

The History stills
And settles-

Silt below an
Ancient Pond-

Succour for Reeds

Awaiting the Splash

Of Frog

Kiss

Moist

If anything is possible

It is

Now now

Now

How long i loved you
Let me down.

How slow the moon
To die.

If only we were dead

Together,

Then how long the moon
Can love

Returning to the Tower
It was not there

The next Block
My former Home
Gone

All the places I stayed
For years
Notable by Absence

The Window with views
Of London
Empty


Now
I too

Am not there

Small
Footsteps
Track and trace

Trace and track
Small footsteps

Timespace illusory

Why so deluded?

2
Time existence flow

Only now!

Only now!

You complete,
Deliver these
Pregnant words-

Make many poems
From one.

Diversity,
Jungle
Desert
Ocean
Atmosphere

All spilling from
Simple syllables.

Thank you

Can I have a love
even forlorn,
undeserved for sure

Yet still
may I have
just one more love

Drink deep of lethe

And try to forget
that day

When the flower
bit the bee

Who made you ashamed
Of your nakedness?

And why?

4
Above, beyond

Below, undoing

This word

Already

Dated


Soon

Incomprehensible

To all

Where river ends

Sea begins-

Where sea
Become
Ocean...

All water

Only water

Any word
Simple
Misnomer

Log fire

Love making

Woolskin rug

Loouis Armstrong

Deep Devon

Happy


Once in my life

Scoop up water
From puddled rain

Moon peeps over
Left shoulder-

Reflected-

No drink

Moon and water
Filter through fingers

Leaving only grit

If I concentrate
Once more

There wil be

Nothing!

Of salt in ocean

Of sugar in tea

Of wheat in a
Deadbeat loaf
Going green.

Whta this means

Is nothing

Is only being

A grain
A universe

And happy

Carp iced under pond
Stare folorn with
Milky eyes-

Suspended-

Waiting on
Warming dawn of

Spring

Emerging from the Cave

Sunshine

Blinking
Drops form

Blue sky

Deep breath

Freedom

Cherry flower



Falls-

Leaves
Grieve and
Grow

Somehow

And the not
Dead yet
Talk to me.

They speak
About
Living
And the
Long
Dead.

Where am I?

Too many

The ways

Of this world

The next

Too much

To be known

In one mind

Or seed

To

Be

Sown

Gaudy handles
Painted coastal scene

Varnish crackling
Under so many
Sweet little
Sweaty palms

Dainty feet
Dancing at mid point-

And from what deep echo
Emanates
The simple
Skipping rime-

The unborn-
Young girls with
Granny rope and
Long rotted dead
Roped vertically
Together

Sour cloud

One drop

Rain

Window

The leaf
does you good

Eat it
chew

It feels,good
and helps you
regular

The leaf without
water will
wither

In sun or moonlight
might die

So your little salad,
darling

Eat up
lest we die

Now that ink

Chlorophyll

Has leached through
Leaf-

True colour may
Emerge,

Take up
Breeze,

Seek

Incorporation
Into earth.

Soft forest
Floor

Grow slow

Hardened peat

Unto diamonds
Heaped
Into golden
Dugout-

Canoed to
Freedom

2
Before his eyes,
Reversed-
Limbs shorten
Thicken and bend with
Muscular torque.

Scaled and horned tail
Slides from burgeoning spine

And face elongates
Reptilian.

Ears bone and twitch
Unnervingly.

Walls are no barrier
And, blood engorged
He ***** and takes flight
So fast above earthen
Atmosphere,

Frolicking midst star and
Galaxy and over expanding
Universe to the

Beyond

The ego fell

Chrysanthemum fuschia marigold lobelia begonia hibiscus frangipani poppy

                                Some unnamed wildflower
By the side of a mountain path
In the rain

Smelt once
Never forgotten

And wild garlic plucked in
Fevered hunger

O god

I need your
Earthly connection with
Color and narcissistic
Flour-

Manna from heaven

And still the
Pagan moon
Refuses worship

Tumbles around
Reflecting light
On every blade of
Grass and even this
Cold heart

Is warmed in
Bitter night

Full
The moon

Full to aurora
Bursting

The small i
Dormant this
Decade and
More

Leaf in order
I

Shall flower
And fruit
In order

Spreading
Benificence

At last

Across the land

Vivid as fire

If your house burns,
etching flame

Let it

Walk on

Don't remember me.

Dust in your eyes

Phphew

Swirl and gone

Recalling now
Your smiling
Lips
And smileless
Eyes

Seized and ******
Dry

Adjoining spirits
Sacrifice all smoke
Unto sky.

Meat of thigh-
Burnt coals glow
And this meal

Divine

Conjoins you+I+all the

Gods

Sat on grass
beneath a canopy of leaf

beneath the body
seedling grows

fifty years immobile
tree grow high, wide

sitting seeing far
with tree high eye

We are Twinned-
Sub-atomic nucleii

What a Quark

One at the centre of
Creation

One Photon-stretched-
Expanding at pace

Far Away
Twins

Leaping Dolphins

Swimming in
Space

I do not wish

To disguise

The tears-

They furrowed

Who I am
