Long Self contained Poems

[Now ShallowMan is quite content

to quibble and express dissent
as long as keeping covenant

self contained and 
safe for a...

“The Language of the Undone”

I prefer 
them 
over humans
those velvet souls 

loving 
the lesser 
parts of me

like...

Remember standing barefoot
In a stream or lake or ocean as the current of water
 ran cool and fast over the ankles?
That liquid, which made our planet
a home for life, beckoning us and so delightfully.

By constraint and definition
are they so outlined
in the pockets of feckless charity
so circumscribed
and life be ruled by gutless fear
the survival mechanisms

Oh matchless our delight does never end
ceaseless variety of kingdom you defend

Applying this to communication theory:
In nonviolence theory

Are there ghosts on Hessle Road
Do the bell bottomed boys
Slide quietly into Rayners
For the pint, the craic, the noise.

It's again through the Bullnose
To pursue the ghostly trawl.
