BEHIND THE WHEEL

Light-hearted poem.

The Moon in that Movie with Cher

Well, the night was dark as are all nights but it wasn't stormy. It felt weird, however...
Cherry

A Cobweb of Weeds

Grief is a cobweb of weeds it settles on shoulders like a shrug and turns to lead weighing down slowing the stream which sparkles still light catches of memory but so easily Ophelia caught about

Dad Tired

It surprises you the tiredness the sheer fatigue of grief "What a blessing" people say he was so ill and he was 80 and such a life he had so lucky. that he went. My Fathers energy gone and mine for now

Your Portrait

I captured your lips with such clarity that I thought they were about to say 'hello.'

Sometimes; I'll sleep badly

The cushion, it turns out, was taken by a friend's friend. It was in tip top condition and she'd felt guilty so she gave it back.

Smack of a Kiss (or I Love You)

I want to split your lips with My fists shaped like split lips ps I don't like the title of this (I'll try and make it better)

When I remembered two things (one after the other though)

I'd like to get a life or a new face Become a thing or even have a strange strange marriage You're not what you promised That's sick Even still so I'd settle for a sit down And a chat and a chat with you

Are you really what you said you were when you said to us what you were with that smile on your face

Were any of the words that slid from your mouth like nurse home spaghetti ever anything but tricks to open our hearts (which are pure) so you could swallow them and eat them and grow almost as much as we shrank (but lasting shorter, the growing, because you're already shrinking back (I can tell from the things you said when you last said things in my direction) while we're just smaller now (little, little, small) to size).

sometimes at night i close my eyes and dream of you and butterflies your slave...

Your Portrait

I captured your lips with such clarity that I thought they were about to say 'hello.' The ears were lifelike from the rosy lobes, to the freckle like a piercing.

Journal 5th Sept

Never invite the Universe to punch you in the solar plexus. She likes to give us what we ask for. "So, how bothered are you about having children?

Syzygy

... maybe never to meet face to face.

Love and All This

The olive fell off the toothpick onto which it had just been speared, and landed with a soft "plunk in Alison's martini. "Thanks, she said, fishing it out and popping it into her mouth. I chewed on the end of my toothpick for a second, sucking out the absolute last of the gin from my own martini before tossing it onto the table beside the just-emptied glass.

a-typical love story

They met in an All Bar One. Office girls in push up bras. Nylon ties on seat backs. Carbonated comfort in pints and possibility on tap. C'mon let's race. It was Thursday night.

Smell

It's an appallingly hot day, the hottest in decades, and by the look of the crusher this is a once in a lifetime smell. Pure, concentrated stench

The Resistance

I think we shall resist the bourgoisie

WRITING ON THE WALL

SEE THE WRITING ON THE WALL

An Eagle Overhead

We saw an eagle overhead as we fished fom the dock circling higher and higher I can see it I can see it said my little daughter The nurse said "yea we saw it the other day flew right down low took a fish right out of the lake

I typed in Portsmouth the name of the football team whose replica shirt your once wore at a funeral. I was amazed when access was denied.
