On Jung’s Porch
everything comes to
those who can be bothered
to make the effort
crashed out on Jung’s Porch
gazing up at the upside down
welcome mat above the door
so you’ve got to think
upside down to make it out
Your visions will become clear
only when you can look
into your own heart.
Who looks outside, dreams;
who looks inside, awakes.
– Carl Jung
No matter when a god will come

Just Browsing
When books are too long,
life is too short.
When books are too short,
life is too long.

Hairy Times
Walk and sit
in the sun thinking
it’s a year since my last haircut.
The garden is at the same stage:
Trees in blossom, primroses in flower
Walk back humming Déjà vu
Almost cut my lawn
More bloody repeats!
Hoe, Hoe! Groundhog Day

Wireless witterings
Rain clouds
Gather to shower
On the hour every hour

Queenie
Tea-stained brain
Easter island feet
frivol in vermouth
Perched most
precariously
on a viscount biscuit
Snoozing on the throne
She died peacefully
during her swim
letting nurture take its course
bless her brittle cotton socks

Still Life With Eyelids
take it as it comes
patience brings its own reward

Cakes & Whales
mad cows derail trains
jaffa-cake or biscuit chat
light or dark matter
one suspicious lump or two
Serengeti radio
yawning hippopotamus
could eat the lot of us
