another tissue please
Nose runny throat sore

wanting it to end to feel right.
Vicks rub on the chest

Feeling Rough
...Like a dog
With a sandpaper throat
A cough like a bark
And the mood of a scrote
Just tossing and turning
With no comfortable spot
A nose like a tap
Simply dripping with snot
I sweat like ...

Nothing Is Perfect In Love and Togetherness

rain does fall sometimes
the weather can be temperamental

Folding you over with 40 ton locks
wondering why we’re all l...

Opening my eyes wide
To better perspectives which don’t flatter
Dispensable pride riding on the tide
Where populism portrays norms
To which I don’t subscribe...

The Rebirth and Triumph of An Ace Apache Pilot
...An Apache pilot once sought for a treasure
In booze, in fun
Sampling leisure and pleasure
Until an Apache chopper gun
In his attentive ears whispered
Enjoining him to a wound-prone warfront ...

Emaciated and Depreciated Love Lozenges
...From the back of a woman’s mind
A thought creeps, peeps and slips
Meandering through layers of blind rind
Summersaulting to scan sweeps
Teeming with spaces in vessels

It was our first year together

A Rather Lazy Day
...Felt a little lazy
So I rested today
Cancelled an appointment
with an old friend
Took lozenges and
many cups of green tea with honey
Tomorrow back to the old grind
So I decide to

It’s 4 o’clock on the very dot and Mick’s rig is passing by,

Cough
...I’m feeling just a little off.
It’s just a little cold;
But yet there’s this annoying cough
That’s got me in its hold.
I carry lozenges in case
The cough gets out of hand.
I use my fist to shield my...
