Of skies and scarecrows, haystacks hares and pheasants
Slithering
And the widening river's presence
A glove, unnoticed, on a floor
And residents from raw estates
Dark suit, white collar
Electric mixers, toasters, washers, driers
The curative qualities of nothingness
From the window, a strip of an allotment
A Fiddler in the Street, a Man With a Guitar
His clothes hang on the back of the door
Home is so sad.
He liked a lot of gravy
I sometimes walk my alligator, around the park, it's always empty
This is how it ends, sliding quietly
The Cemetery Song
There is never, quite, nothing
The words escape the book, fly like bees
Devoutly Drenched and Thinking of Jesus
I was late getting away
