Ribbed sleeve ends
Bring a structure to proceedings
Provide a firmer bond
To the softer pullover
Here now pull yourself together
What sort of friend
Would a lover make anyway

Most days I would try to write a poem; it is a practice, as I suppose is meditation, or smiling, or watching the world go by

One Crow to a Tree
One crow to a tree
It's not easy living with you
It's not easy living with me
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
It's heaven just seeing you
It's heaven you just seeing me
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
The ache of not being with you
The ache of not being with me
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
The impossibility of freeing you
The impossibility of freeing me
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
The end, the end of me and you
The end, the end of you and me
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
The thought of hearing from you
The thought of hearing from me
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
The idea of him near to you
The idea of him near to me
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
The tearful fear of fearing you
The tearful fear of fearing me
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
The closure of the dream of me and you
The closure of the dream of you and me
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree

Separate Houses
I went to look around a show home
A new development on the edge of the city
It was a Sunday afternoon
Full of rain and wind and cold
The floors had carpets
The windows had curtains
The central heating worked a treat
There was no television
I wrote to you that evening
Said I was sad that we were apart
Happy that I could give you a home
Lost across a sea of my own findings
The brochure said no deposit
Low interest for first time buyers
Solicitors and search fees paid
Assistance with relocation
I had lost all creative imagination
Beaten by my own past beliefs
This wasn't what you wanted
Of that I was uncertainly certain
Another time, I stood at the bus stop
Getting wet in the nights drizzle
I was happy, without sufficient reason
Though well clear of the developers estate

Beaumont Salon
One sunshine Friday afternoon
Twenty and a few years before today
You should scrunch your hair
She said, when you blow dry it
A new place, a new town
A new island, a new rapturous love
Scrunch your hair, at the back
She said, as you blow dry it
Your hair sure looks good
My lover said; who's done it
Twenty and a few years before today
One sunshine Friday afternoon
