Samples

The Poet In the dustbin of the world The poet lies bleeding Railing against the light Against the night-blooming poison Stealing sacred dreams And dew-fresh flowers. His hands foreign things His mind a maze of menace To his soul; He lost his words to the wind. The moon judges him coldly, A pencil shaded figure Vomiting black ink. The poet is no more; Only the dust remains. Afternoon Tea There is movement in the trees. A flash A flicker of fanciful colour And wings - The birds are out for their afternoon tea. They bob and whirl A softly muted kaleidoscope Changing patterns through the garden; They come to gossip And watch the washerwoman In the window as she works, Smiling.
