o’er top o’me

bellies, usually driven snow,

this morning

honey dipped in hiemal morning’s glow

til’ falling, scrap and skreel

by genteel and boor

for there is no inequity

DREAMING FOR ALL TO SEE

You say I'm a dreamer
And so I may be
But the dreams I have aren't just for me
They're for you and all to see

The dream is love,
Is life and joy
A dream of peace
Of shelter from the storm

The dream is the lifeblood 
Flowing through my veins
The dream will always be
All to see all that remains

You say I'm a dreamer
I tend to agree
But I dream not ...

from between the leaves

the shafts fall and draw

a hundred golden atria

shining through

the stained organics

of liquid glass

to the cloistral faithful

swimming beneath

The Thief of Creation

…………a trillion years in the making –

A life-cycle finished

make all life yours to control.

Creatures of fire swim in

seas of molten lava

while beings of ice glide

over infinite frozen ice la...

the jackdaws bruised the garden today

borrowing sticks, stealing hay

the sticks we can eventually have back they say

once seasoned by the summer’s fray

I tell them they can keep them anyway

Shame - the greatest shambles; a sham

sex and guilt, beauty and modesty; molest

pitted in the stomach like acid,

spat swallowed pity, feeding starvation, an unquenchable famish, unsensibly sore

malnourished habits die hard, and lonely, resentfully

twisting and turning and diving, deprived

Lies for eyes, for ears and the nose; twitch

flies on the flesh of ...

The curtains a cocoon

which I have outgrown

crushing me

though I dare not venture out

my wings maimed

by an internal eternity.

Some days they open

as the sunlight shines

and snow falls

yet it remains a parallel world

a door to an unfamiliar universe

remains locked.

Even inside plates pile up

like a porcelain possum

they ...
