Hold On

Take these half closed eyes

Not yet ready for their pennies

Take me with them, half way

Into your kaleidoscopes, & all, or

Half way to the modern-artists crimsons

Take these de-mystified lenses

Not yet to concede, or give in

Send them half way to paradise

With your surprises; rampant

Rapturous crystals piled ever high

As

Crinkled skin locks one in

As securely as the orange peel

Feel at bay, held away; sweet or sour

The zest will not shower

Nor your trapped love flower

Given the day, given the hour

Stumbled heart feints in ones part

As unsure as the buckled wheel

Deal to stay, kneel and pray, flutter

Or murmur, the rate will not earn

Her condolence or consent

Given the moon, given the stars

Cabin

Hemingway you said

Read a little Hemingway

Listen to some old Buddy Rich records

Perhaps a bite to eat, smorgasbord or the like

All of this sat by the log fire

With flames away up the chimney

Outside the snow falls

The pathways from the woods are iced over

Those once lively animals have settled

Into burrows and nests, there is no wind

The tufts of grass are all but hidden

By the settled flakes of joyous alimentation

Cobbles

I think it is the French connection

Yes that long glass of Kronenburg 1664

Ice cold larger in the blaze of a setting sun

Always I guess we are taken back

That is what time on our own provides

I hope it does the same for you

So let's go back to the Gaelic persuasion

To summer nights by St Ives harbour

A few beers and chilled white wine

A meal with artful conversation

Out then into the midnight air

Onto the seashore; kissing, skipping

No wonder occasionally we take a drink

Especially from the French connection

Opposition

Sun sets

In deep resplendent red

Over the distant range

Of silhouette hills

Geese chuckle madly

Through the cusp

Of day and dusk

Somewhere

The evening primrose

Commences its rapid movement

The night at Emerson College

Is thus remembered

All the while I try to calm myself

After a workplace altercation
