The Letter to the Acolyte in Poetry Month

With his endless packs of words.

A Poet has unnatural affection for you;
He write and snore while sleeping.
He...

As you may not know,
And I deem it my pleasure and privilege
To write this panegyric of you.

And very rarely, if ever, you produce a freakish white.
In your worldwide...

Staged hostility

In the East they mouth
There’s new racial frictions
Plus they, in West and South
Peddle hostile fictions

Don’t look to the NEWS

Though his words did not sound true

The Sailor's Wife
She’s one lonely soul with occasional

Waves, charmed to weariness by breezes powerful enough
To unfurl umbrellas rolled behind Grandfather’s clock.
She combs her lofty hair seawards, with particles, flimsy and

Delicately grey,...

of permanency in housing.
