Phobias
A Bluto is not that Disney dog
It was when a mewling
that I would scream
Should they wet my body
And then apply cream
Ablutophobia – fear of bathing, washing, or cleaning
Achluo the demon that lurks
In darkened...

apple cores thrown, the blackbirds feed

The beggar outside the supermarket
You swore was picked up later
In a flashy car
Sat there in the sun for 8 hours
While you pissed & moaned
All the way home
To your bookless
Mausoleum
With a chlorinated pool

A Seance In Lancashire
The air was damp inside the house, chill creeping through the walls
Swags and Tails with dusty eyes seep through the faded falls.
The garish group sat silently hands splayed upon a table square

The battle I thought was over and now long done
Just when I thought I could sit down and...

Spring
Bathed in nectar dew drops, now
the damsel spring stealthily
tiptoes into the hamlet
with all its strength.
The south breeze plays
fifth symphony on tender new leaves,
flings the grey garment of fugitive winter
on the tether of time.
The red...

This Town, This Time
In this time , this town, you'd grow
In this town, this time, you'll feel at home
your poor plenty more than rich enough
to crack the faultline,
your cup half full, half overflowing.
You stretch your legs and wings...

Loved, loathe and will leave
Early October.
I accidentally came across your message,
I dare not open it, after it caught my eye "Police contacted. You..."

Around the dank and dreary walls the howling wind does scream,
And as the rain begins to fall you’ll know its Halloween,
The lightening strikes and mist will form and round the town it swirls,

Born On the Goldhawk Road Two
My unusual physical appearance
Was enhanced by a striking thinness,
And enormous long-lashed blue eyes.
Less charmingly, I was also the kind of
Deliberately malicious little hooligan
Who'd remove some periodical
From a neighbour's letter-box
And then...

Memories of shared interest with my Mum,
Which was...

The other shifts he was cut adrift
As soon as the sun went down

In his post office van he picked up the letters
And on the...

The Cogs Keep On Turning
A distant fire glows
out on the horizon
spreading further as it grows
Early morning nature rises
calls as birds stir twittering
Day breaks
crisp chilled air fresh on the lungs
Cats stalk through gardens
as news paper round girls and boys...

Heavy Right Foot

Sends a shudder of fear

In the recent past
I know they...

Looking Back In Anger
If we want to see less people looking back in anger,
We need to give them more to look forward to,

Like 3 square meals a day,
Like being listened to,
Like less waiting time for that...
