"The Book of Changes"

Thoughts arrived before words,
1000s of years before
the crossing of curves

always seen to be 
swimming upstream 
against the current

thoughts … and feelings,
in the flow, always arrive 
before words, they are cast 

in the...

As he tends the empty weirs
This spot...

When at five-thirty
In the rubbed-eye haziness
Of ferreting lonesome night walks
The camera-eye refugee
Asleep in the half wakefulness
Of the hour
Peers out of his high turbanned sockets:
Hyde Park's through road links
London's diurnally estranged couple -
The Arch and Gate.

Before I go hide,
I shall rest in the tide-
After the waves,
my life I shall save.

I needed this life-
I craved a passion so strong,

Trees send signals through the forests;
using various chemicals
also fungi, roots and...
