Long Pares Poems

Si està convençut que la independència és impossible, dir-los que és impossible de ser silenciós, impossible i no tenir una veu impossible és ser inhumà i acceptar ratlles. Tenim el dret a viure. Creiem en...

No Primus Inter Pares

Germans at the Costa Brava they just cannot yield
‘Brava’ the fight and they are conquering once more

Always the first on the beach or the striped deck chair but
The towel goes right up...

the poor, the sick, the infirm, the abused
not one, but plenty of them, all over
a vacant sadness on each face, waiting to be enthused
the poor, the sick, the infirm, the abused
wait for a kindness from...

Standing tall and proud as Punch, Albert, my Suffolk, softens to receive his collar.
I lift the hames across his back,
throw over pad and traces, belts and chains,
while he stands like a scholar.
He has a generosity...

A touching sip
Glimpses now grip
A Woodlands trip


Old times come round
Feel the same grounds
Old touch new found


A train ride tells
Styles a fond spell
Just where you dwell


A new blank page
Ideas now stage
A lovely age


Studio suite arts
A brand...

E Agora é setembro:
Há muito por fazer! 

E Agora é setembro;
Eu quero lembrar: 
Todo o tempo no mundo
Do nascer do dia
Ao por do sol 
Dentre todos os dias,
nenhum foi o primeiro. 

Foram precisos
Todas os dias

"Otherness, the dichotemy dissected"

The facial surface
stitched tight 
photosynthesis pares
celluloid divisions
their inquisition solitary
and thickly wading 
shallow and elementary 
the dichotomy mercilessly
shaved whittle thin
by others’ strangeness 

the primary magnified
in situ perfectly imperfect
petri dissected

through the windows
sunlight slices and...

Dark settles on the walls. The 
street lamp blinks some light, 
then dies, then blinks again. A 
moth- stuck inside the room- 
pares its wings on the glass, 
falls to the windowsill, 
then does it...

 Canadian geese
black cheeked... brown...  white tipped feathers
stormy ocean waves 

barnacle geese
hibernate as barnacles
for some... once a thought

starlings murmurate
whispers of countless wings
safty in numbers

hark a bittern booms
invites new life to explode
sedges obliging

quack... quack... quack...

Embora

Embora as dificuldades,
o trabalho forte continua,
nunca pares de sonhar,
porque os sonhos duradouros
são aqueles que se realizam.

Tu sabes que és o futuro,
enfrenta a tarefa com orgulho e sem medo,
aprende com aqueles que podem ensinar-te,
as experiências daqueles...

Election… 
…again
The masses are called to the public square
Pilots post candidates
Pundits peal their parlance
The public primarily pares them to Barabbas and Truth.
Barabbas wins again,
Promises to slash and burn, cut everyone to size
Make things great again!
Truth...
