Love feels like it has gone far away
She used to exist everywhere it seems
Now she hides in fear of being used up or let down

Most now, don’t even remember what she feels like

who ventured to make some ice cream
It was to be our special creation

A slight hint of consternation was in her voice,
“Why did you tell those people I’m deaf and dumb?”

I Bathed My Body

My Grandma smelt of peppermints. 
Her kitchen of boiling bacon,

The bathroom, off the kitchen, 
smelt of carbolic soap, and a layer 
of talcum powder...

Nothing stopped me on my way
When I grabbed the other pillow
No other head made it stay

Squinting as sharp shards of sun
reflect off the river.

between the falling angel blood,
caught in the afternoon cotton breath of God
All at the edge of solidity. Rosemary eyelashes,
 I can’t see you. I don’t...

I saw the Four Horsemen -
the famous apocalypse guys.
They rode silently past neatly folded laundry,

They approached me in silence,
their breathe a rye and meadow wind.
Each of them in turn,

gliding ghostlike past where I sat,
