She Said

Surprise visitor!
Ginger Rogers fresh from heaven
knock me down with a feather boa

give us a twirl then luv
‘aren’t you going to ask me?’, she said
Ask you what I close upped

Strong silent typography
‘How does it feels to be dead?’
She thinks I’m Peter Fonda

Poor love goddess,
They all go a bit
Sunset Boulevard

I give her my father’s best side
And flash the trademark
well-upholstered teeth

she smiled knowingly
We parted on the best of terms
It had not always
been like that…in fact never
quite like this before

Sleeping Fish

Crucian carp (Carassius carassius)

There are yellowfish

crying out

for a poach.

We approach seven.

It is evening:

drinks on the patio,

freewheeling banter, laughs , and snacks.

Tapas lovingly prepared.

The lugubrious air

memories of summers past.

Dreamtime in a word.

The smoked haddock will stop yelling soon.

Green or black olives, Daphne?

Are they pitted?

By my fair hand.

You are the one, aren’t you…What’s that sound?

Fish snoring.

Tee-hee-hee…
