I scratch the imaginary surface

Of this spherical agglomeration

Of imaginary nothingness

A space, or repository, formed

By no more than a few deft hand-

Turns and rolling wrist gestures

I am reminded of the mathematics

Of non-Euclidean space

And of Jung's collective unconscious

Theorems always showed the miserable

Limits to my intellectual capacity

Here again I am undone

Instead to write of love and loss

Or love and joy, I engulf myself in the

Wobbly blancmange of indecipherable airs

Wordy Expression

Bus terminals and ticket collections

Endless queues, recurring themes

Always make the same mistake

Again; again without doubt

The red light is aglow

Erogenous

All dreams head

This way it seems

A full-on brown sea

A fuller grey, grey sky

The horizon is lost in mist

Rain beats on the pavement

Today the pier is to be deserted

Crazy golf similarly so abandoned

It is a large room with grand windows

The ingrained tea tray is set with biscuits

I ruminate on the eleven plus examination

It was the high point of my educational life

Thereafter failure on an immense scale

Prior to self excused absconding

On a fairly regular basis

Half-Way Precise

I meditate

For the one who is

And for the one who is not

I bring a prayer to both

For the one who offers peace

And for the one where lays the ache

In the calm time of rising

I offer to carry their moments

As I imagine a tiller would plant his corn

There on my shoulders

Their vessels are balanced

On the knotted pole that gently rocks

We are together in absence

After many aggregates of time

On journeys now to where quietness sways

I leave this place

This space of the morning

Take my meditation, out into the day

I have hope to dream again

Come the breakthrough of light

Between this day and the day after tomorrow

By page six

You have used

The d word twice

I notice this

Because I too have the d

Like, like, like

As if

As if you cared

For the surf dude

So slim, so sublime

As he rides, strides

The light fantastic

On the rolling crests 

Yet for the first time 

I understand

The need for

Techniques at play

The twists

The forceful skips

Even the neatness

To step aside

Before our wave is spent
