surreal
fragments
from the past
visual
encounters
with dark fantasies
plots
without dialogue
small drama
with
strangers
on the
seashore
coincidences
chimed
in passion
desire
& indulgences
in virtue&
vice
pursued
by umbrellas
&trilbies
by ladies
of the night
in mackintoshes &
braces
meditations
in
sunshine
reflections
in
mirrors
of bowlers&
beaches
melancholia
in moments
of colour
veiled
in the enigmatic
longings
for yesterday
today
in nostalgic
roads
to nowhere
of quietudes
in hidden
stylistic
wistfilled
narratives

SCOTTISH MIST
as I lie on your chest- sculpture
listen to the
lament
peculiar birds
are suspended above
the poignant attraction
of your eyes
and the edifice is
satisfying as
blue trilbies
sneeze in the Scotch mist
come nearer love
as the hero’s
trace the heavens
ubiquitously
there are blizzard trinkets tumbling
(For Michael P. Clarke)
