Almost an anticipation in his voice,
As if he...

Who Put Luebella Down the Wych Elm
"Who Put Luebella down the Wych Elm?"
There are rumours
about me, some
come seeking me
with their geiger counters
and ouji boards
with their heart
shaped planchettes
unanswered questions
in the woods, crackling
within the sounds of leaves
invisible dead things speaking
underfoot...

Blue Sky, Why
"Blue Sky, Why?"
stories speak to us.
inside our heart
is crying.
Blue Sky, Why?
why do children
holding sunflowers
watch their parents die
why do sweet children,
now war torn,
some the battle's orphans,
daily lose their lives
lying in their sick beds
bombed in...

Peace In the Nowhere
"Peace in the Nowhere"
Ghosts remain in this place
they read their words
marked each day on walls
like prayers, it gives them

even when invited.
A veteran,
