Tin

Snow is honest

It does what it

Says on the tin

Winter snow

Oooh

The sitting room

DO.

wee

bark

DI

 

trash bin day dark

old metal pan sky,

scoured by grey blue sick traffic

air, hanging like a cowl or shroud.

 

Sky waits wind

to blow another shoulder

of squalor.

 

Dream: got up and walked away from

the dingy flint wall office;

going quicker,

just missing walls on corners.

I realize

I

am on a bicycle.

 

At the main road,

tourists wave from cars and campers.

I watch a couple getting horny

in the sitting room of the guest house,

I cycle in disturbing seated groups.

A small woman with tight knit jet black hair staggers backwards and falls

back

on a carpet upholstered settee laughing excitedly.

 

Roaming about,

people read papers.

We speak of what they are studying.

They drift off and out.

A

group are gardening for their board & lodging, pulling up shrubs and bushes.

 

 

Lucky Little Lady

The Tamarind dropped anchor and despatched a

purple emissary

who announced the fate of the sweet, eyed,

lovely Maiden

from the coast of Malibar

to the swelling throng on the quay.

It appeared that, for once, the trades had been kind:

the Pirates of Somali

were living it up in Bali

English: Balinese stone carvings found in Ubud.

Twitching

Sumatra - Lake Toba - 2002 (18)

Cripes a Gull!

In a dank, mildewed grike the bells either

ding, dong, or dull.

The last spat of evening hedgelights the sward.

Then, in the blank of an eye and a

flicker of wee finger

we hear us considering the climate of Sumatra

(a place that should rhyme with tomato).

Things get dafter and soon after

we settle on Java instead.
