Rum n Raisin 11 - One Hundred Million Years BC

As...

beach bones
not a bone to pick on beach walks
with my lover just pleasure and leisure
strolls in the sand of time and togetherness
joined at the hips of mind body and soul
sizzling fingertips and footsteps near the edge...

Grief
I remember the grief in Samuel
when Saul failed,
like the grief in Nile
when blood crept into it —
just like it creeps into the bones of
this earth.
The rage in grief is distant but distinct,
escorted by bits of...

Time crystallised into every golden grain
Fine as the flakes off my skin
For a thousand years void of rain
Rising to Rah with the slope of the dunes
Crocodile tears fill the Nile
For they flourish for...

Canaries In a Mine
Kisses from insolvent grave,
Stole the dying breath away
So dizzyingly fast,
It escaped as fleeting vapour;
The hackles bristled, raised,
Clouds of ink on sunny days,
As scratching quills engraved
Upon white paper
Who among the sprawl could feel
If it was...

Eventide
Brushed with the languorous strokes of sunset
The landscape touched by a sinewy fire,
Breathing beneath the purple haze sky
As electrical dusk tugs molecular wire.
Bats from the caverns jerk black on thermals,

Water
life without water
could not ever be sustained
thank the spring showers
water cascades... rain
distilled... early morning dew
winter confetti
no water... no frogs
deathly silence... then it rained
the sound of splashes
all life dependent
some dance for water... it rains
sustaining splashes
the shape...

The Last Kiss
The last kiss is blown
into the Sanskrit winds,
passing indecipherably,
planted on the sky.

are emotions bared therein
the calm of clock towers fossilised
to claim what hurries by.
