A walk in the night

...I couldn’t sleep last night
These times had me feeling not right
There were images swirling round 
And try as I might I couldn’t shake being down

So I walked around the town 
Finding no solace...

The Tool Shed

...It was a dark hole
into an Aladdin's cave of old tools.
A small window
gave the only light and fell
on a rough sawn bench wearing
scars inflicted by years of use.
Saw cuts, drill holes
and the...

Aware

...What am I aware of?
Fingertips
the plastic beat of an electronic heart
as I type - not in the moment
but racing down stream
to a whirlpool
where words surface.

The last sip of coffee

Solace

...Crushing snowberry bushes on a hillside,
Droops down, discarding fallen blossom petals,
magnificent sand dunes soaked in pure water,
countryside nature soothes with the sweetness of honeyed melody...

A Far Way Place

...A faraway place

in a converted stable made into a cottage that
was smelling of mules when it rained.
After the heat of summers, winters wer...

The Trains of Cunning

Two men in a vast field of grain waited for the trains
to meet on a one-track railway line, one a mathematician 
had worked out where the train would meet
the other was a ...

The First Whistle

...Puffing languidly by blowing the whistle, there came 
the mementos of zig-zag meter gauged companion, 
The first consignment on the railroad track, locomotives shipped from the United Kingdom, 
by...

At Beeching Halt

...a stroll beneath this old stone bridge
is a stroll through time and mist
where remnants from another age
and graffiti coexist.

where nitreous oxide cannisters
and weeds and grass combine
to c...

My Town

...From north, south, east and west 
This is the town to beat the rest,
Where history and present blend
As through its many streets you wend. 

Where once a monastery so great
From every view woul...

Tunnel Terror

...A short cut through the tunnel led me home,
a route I'd taken many times before
but on that misty, cold October night
along its path a nightmare lay in store.

An unfrequented disused railway li...

An Old Railway Line

...In the death chamber confines
The soul of my mind
Handcuffed by tragedy
Sentenced to death penalty
Just close to a blink of my eyes
With an illusionary greetings
Of long lives
Standing before ...

The Common Good

...A funny thing happened to or with me this morning during the 11 O'clock hour. During the few moments that I was watering our lemon tree, a train went back. This was the Amtrak and not the commercial ...

Crazy Mick

...Crazy Mick the Irishman, with trademark bike and overcoat,
wheeling his way back into town, classed as a tarnished silly goat.
His hair was long and curly; spoken words barely understood.
His mann...

...“…Man serves the interests of no creature except himself…” - Middle White Boar

when my foot slipped off the iron rail and I felt my ankle sprain,
