Station to Station
Quick refresh
Loose ends
tufts
spare parts
nether and feather,
pour on tapestry,
threadwork,
needling, coaxing
cloth from strands.
Bonding as we go,
as he goes.
We just wait
Embroider
Ourselves,
Time woven in time…

Go and Wash!
Do you bathe or shower
in words?
In this fast world you shower,
don’t you?
A swift run through,
break a world record,
cusses,
blew it
dropped
All-in-One.
Precious moments
lost to the clock.
The unborn wait forever.

From Hull
Half-tidy:
the house shrinks.
Apricot evening,
millpond
offing:
footpath.
Calm does calm.
dinghy sandwiches
In the bar
The land
lying lower.

Plasma
Heavy air
Deuterium where
Windless wind

Fuggy
Altogether now!
Laws were made
for the obedience of Fools,
and the guidance of Wiseguys.

Reach for the Skies
The
Wrong sorts
Of
Saharan sands
And car smut,
And fumes
Industrial & Domestic,
Combine
Continental
And homemade
Detritus
become
atmosphere:
some air left.

Circuit Broker
Big, thick mist carouses car hum and buzz.
Warmer globe, scoop the parrot, wetlands lie low,
Exposed, vulnerable, prone.
Low emerald hopes incline,
in the windless mill pond offing gannets
fight for alfalfa seven times diurnally.
The French fleet lurk behind the seaweed bar
Waiting for the cows to come home to roost.

Gains seem Few
Three, new time
Dante on.
Hurt reading. Dante hurt.
On reading.
Hurt on. Reading Dante.
On reading.
Dante hurt.
Hurt Dante.
Reading on.
Five, new time.

Play School Run
One…
Moo-cows and moo-bulls
thick mist and drizzle.
With window open I give
Whisht; ruff & honours paused,
Play-Boys & Play-Girls
dragged half-dead from dream
to school
to play.
Two…
The big kids attend
grownup therapy
later with grownups.
Children in Need,
they exasp, have these!
Comic relief, they
sad clown, give me some
I need it.
Three…
How they chuckle
at their chosen lot.
Today, we will not
play with cats
learn
a nursery rhyme called:
Brock the Bad
Bad Badger.
Four…
The children will nap,
not get to the last,
best dream,
and cry and
scream, and run away
to live with cats and
friendly badgers
in the woods.
Five…
It is there you can
Contract polio,
malaria, diphtheria, and hysteria
like the big kids who
fetch you later and
scold you for what they’ve been through.
You will learn a lesson
They will regret.

Many Happy Returns
Adeline
slipped away
alone
with herself
together
she walked
into
the river
Forever
