ilence


an orchestra chase

’s slumberers although

dreaming this



a sky’s shiver

in that thick cloak

out of season



the street flying

roofs & those beaks

laughtering



my head is starting to snow!

it looked so pretty from here

foot felled



then what do we do with the unconscious? – trotsky

why are you a box

of biscuits? (grey satiny light)



they’ll never dig us

up we’ll always be

hourglasses



i can tell you are afraid

can tell you are afraid

tell you are afraid



an orchestra is silence

in the same way a room

in a night / alcohol



they call us by their names

we can do nothing but answer

trees moving thru unmoving breeze.

  1. Really liked this stanza:

    a sky’s shiver
    in that thick cloak
    out of season

  2. thanks Gordon :-)

    Have you read Geraldine Monk's 'Lobe Scarps & Finials' (Leafe Press)?

    "everything was elsewhere and
    being England it was cloudy."
