Ebb

In a craft

A neglected rowing boat

On a tributary

A good way from the sea

He gives his arm

Steadies her uneasy step

From the shallow water

To climb aboard

Laying back

Taking time

Choosing to go nowhere

With this he is by her side

Twenty-five years later

A photograph

Reeds, and grasses

Grow out of salted water

He is in contemplation

She is placed elsewhere

Neglected, and then

Brought into recovery

Procreate

Lovers in the summer

Parents in the spring

Father & Mother

Of the beautiful child

That summers bring

Sweetest of fruits

Wearing winters ring

Harmonious (strikethrough)

Vacuous, then stunned, awoken

No care for the drumbeat or the piano roll

Broken thoughts, tokens of highland shelters

Where beauty & hardship pass their time together

As if the crime of this music is that it is as discordant

As the notes I make; taking the easy way out

Close down, go under the covers, retreat

Lost & beaten, no need to sweeten

Bilbao

Twist of ham
Sliced in harmony
We ran
Through fish markets
& artists galleries

Can we go again
Though elsewhere
To run
With adventure
By our sides

Tides don’t turn
They ebb & flow
Love may move slower
Than the harmony
Of slicing ham

Yorkshire

The violinist heads out towards infinity

The artist etches The Outliers of the archipelago

The poet writes of the endless depths of his love

Tomorrow, light will rise from the darkness

More than that, every breath

Holds the wheeze of tobacco

In this way each day calmly begins

With a pot of sweetened tea & a bowl of porridge
