...Cheap ale pools in a Styrofoam cup.
She’s barefoot in gravel,
anklet flashing beneath the floodlamps.

Jigsaw of a Shattered Soul
...
The old man's trophy,

of a Brass Band.
At dawn
we practice together,
bending the knees,
and oiling joints with syrup
and black coffee.

Then with a couple of his mates
Set up this high class restaurant

...Mud cracks its teeth.
Roots crunch and seep
a stored sunlight.
There are open veins

A Warming Spring
...A stored ripening sunlight,
opens veins under wet sods.
We are conveyed on the thaw,
upon the guttering soil

neck and rubber yet with scant regret.
