Steve Jobs

He is a guy I never met
But I think I would have liked to

Willie's Campaign

A warmer wind
Nine seagulls on sentry duty
On top of the ferryboat docking posts

Out in the sound
Past the buoys and the markers
Beyond the Shiants and the fish-farms

A warmer water
Suited to dolphins and whales
Soaked in dreams of human pastimes

Framed for the canvas
Stilled by the paintbrush or camera
Settled by slower words, irregular verse

Framed

Endless shimmers
Wave after wave of nostalgia
Patterns thought never to be repeated

Bring their own sense of what’s gone on before
They dwell here & now for a while
Before moving on, to afterwards, ever so slowly

Photographers flip out
Their flip up cameras
Form into rows and rows

To capture the ferry's berth
We are number two
In the orderly queue

We look back, focus
With a self satisfied smile
On our fellow travellers

Itinerant

A hive and a beanstalk

A tin hut on the bog

Heaven on a peat moor

Slow down you damnable frog

Solitude No More

You think I want to be here alone
But I have to say that isn't true
The reason that I'm here at all
Is to be here alone with you
