A Newspaper

Today 
I read a newspaper, 
In it was half a column 
On a people starving and dying, 
The rest of it was : 
Photos, 
Crossword puzzle, 
And faded letters.

I Read In the Newspaper-The Police,

I read in the newspaper:- "The police,
 Are looking for a  young  impudent rapist."
I called them straight off- "I'm ready for job!"
 But - was roughly rejected  by an arrogant snob.

Eating His Words

I heard
"Till death does us apart"
in a song,
And then, in a newspaper I read 
the songwriter himself
did not wait that long,
I guess
after a while he got the point
that he was wrong

Fish and Chips

We used to travel to the beach,
Fish and chip shops in our reach,
Fish so fresh and flaking,
Fanta orange our thirst slaking,
In newspaper, chips were wrapped,
Bayside trips, us kids were rapt!

With Playful Eyesight

With Playful Eyesight

With playful eyesight he became a peeker;
Through tough times which were bleaker;
When we had read,
What newspaper said,
We realized that the source was a leaker.

Poor Boy Winter

Cracks in the floor,
filled with old cardboard.

Plastic on the windows,
blankets on the doors.

Newspaper on the plumbing,
wood stacked by the stove.

Preparing for the winter,
when I was just a boy.

Cold Cracks

Preparing for the winter,
when I was just a boy.

Newspaper on the plumbing,
wood stacked by the stove.

Plastic on the windows,
blankets on the doors.

Filled up with cardboard,
Cold cracks in the floor.

Mysteries

mysteries 
of a broken window
haunt me
hand wrapped in newspaper and gauze
still drips blood
days later
turn away
he washes old wounds in the old laundry sink
lye soap
stinging 
tears
regrets

The Empty Apartment 11

A stained teacup sits sadly in the sink
Ashes of a past fire grey the hearth
An unread newspaper, old man's spectacles
A packet of mints lay on the scratched surface
Of a beeswaxed table
Waiting for Thomas Ryan to return
