Reverence

Every day a colour
Even when that colour is black
All of time to cover
You know he is not coming back

Brotherly love
In the diner queue
The days move on
With Irish stew

Every day a colour
Even when that colour is black
No point mistreating her
In the roadside lovers shack

Tented Silk

I was on a hill, a hillside of single storey shops and offices; it could have been India but it was Milton Keynes. We (but I didn't know any of the others) were looking for a particular solicitors place of work. We found him in his back office, which had canary yellow walls and ceilings. It also contained stacks of full height mahogany framed mirrors, and a lavish double bed covered with jungle coloured silks. The entrance to the office was through a matching shop, matching, in all except the bed and desk, that is.

Slip

I was scrambling on a mountain side in England's Lake District. It was one of two ways that I had found into the bar of an Open University summer school. I had made the trips several times already but on each occasion I found myself back on the mountainside. 

A party of Americans approached, they asked if this was the only way; before I could answer I felt a rock slipping, I screamed at them to get out of the way. Calmly I took hold of the sliding slab, I steadied it's progress, then slowly guided it to rest, against and between two, more solid outcrops.

Human Dream

All of humanity

In the shirt not ironed

& the hair unbrushed

All of humanity

In the smiling eyes

& the schoolgirls crush

Travelled

All of hope

Where waters part

To observe the joke

Through the viewfinder

Of life's twisted periscope
