And ties the winch to it, and turns it on,
“STAY BACK!” he howls, “THIS CABLE’S ALMOST GONE!”

The winch-engine...

to skirt the Whitecross public house
beside the bankside boats
some covered by their winter canvas coats 
and strewn with planks and dollies

When she has a pooh in the...

Decorating attention's bravado

Don't forget thy company I keep
To have you such night glee
When lonely you in sleep so deep

Now life spurns me, 
granite and absolute; 
flinches at my touch, 
hardens visibly at my voice, 
morphed to dry-ice opiate in my presence. 

Avoidance of the plague, 
ducks and dives prizefighterly, 
evasive bob and weave,...

Driving in the slow lane...
Out of harms way

So he shifts to...

I am  so enthralled by a verse
an impressive and virile style conquered
quenching one’s thirst seems hardly emerge
however; all songs, stories and ideas being shared
are gems and have secrets unparalleled when compared

Never debating natures determined mind.
Now there’s a grey bird, cleaning and preening,

The wind faces us down, a bitter housemaster
seeing our tricks, he raises his willowy cane, 
jealous of our freedom and wings

Beyond guns and funds
Involving moons and suns
From here to kingdom come
And then some


By the skin of one's teeth
Above and beneath
Any peak
