nursing his alcohol as he hides from his young cousins. 
They want to play army men with him some more,
but he has already been losing for hours....

I love to
Sit on a Bench
To have
A cup of coffee
With my
Chumps
In the evening
While
Looking at
The sun
Setting down

I want to run
Along The Damascus
Alongside my
Sweetheart
I love to Tie
A ribbon at
The shrine
Of John
The Baptist

I wanna be
At Azm, The palace
To...

something to do with a workers' dispute,
and Mum was at the next-door neighbour's
on one of her 'brief' visits.

I took the car out
on a gloomy evening
& drove along 
the A9

people busy
with farming & 
harvesting before 
the heavy 
rain

cattle
being taken home
before the 
nightfall

boys naughty
flying their kites
up in the sky
still

crazy, crazy, crazy
buses 
drove faster
passing my...

Alousius was a most auspicious bird
He was also a bit daffy and wacky
And constantly went awry and absurd
As a bird one might say he was absolutely atrocious
And his appetency of eating rotten week old berries
Gave...

I never knew I never knew 
that the truth

That promises sleeps with conditions
That the repented heart 
Must avoid restitution
That forgiveness and love...

If you do love 
A lass let her know 
And feel it
Otherwise you’d be
In vein 

Once you give
Her heaps of hopes
Break them not

For hers would 
Get wounded
No treatment 
Could cure hers

Give her no tears
And fears
Assure...

Sister Aloysius rings the bell
iron-railing straight she stands 
habit flapping blackly
her triple-bolted thin-lipped smile
pursed against assault, or love,
while children shuffle past
their tulip heads averted
from her scything gaze

Jimmy from the Chinese 
chip shop, smiling, filing past
What...

Though we’ve got
To say 'Good bye'
in a second of time
I want to say
How much 
I love you

Emptiness won't
Rule you at all
As long as
My love' 
With you

Till my arrival
You’ve my
Warmth and
Fragrance

We depart 
Not for ever
But for...
