Treads

The silence of symbiosis carries me
I float in and out of presence
I lose conscious weight
Through acts of unconscious removal

I take hold of sense
Intense with sensibilities 
The light fades
My warmth wraps me

Good thoughts sprinkle their dust
It is the all of all oneness
The I, that is able to reconnoitre
To have discourse with a wider world

Call-Out

It is the time to traverse through dusk
Aeroplanes head out east and west
Souls return from northern
& southern pastures

Time for an artisans sojourn
To hear the sheep bah
Bah behind the coo-coo of pigeon
Bah-bah beneath the croak of crow

Bah at the very moment that silence
Engulfed the meadow
Bah, for the endless search of mother
Bah for the nearby fade of light

Beethoven

The multi-coloured
Rice paper tetrahedrons
Roll throughout my dreams
Their presence brings
A lightness, a gaiety
To familiar tales of lust
And strayed relationships

Mary (Montbretia)

Beautiful petals
Drawn into focus
Risen out of peat lands
To furnish the lakeside

Hear then her whispers
As she bends against the breeze
Listen to her mellow cries
Untold absence is her disease

Outlines & Structures

There are many sketches of faces
Layered in vertical and horizontal arrays
On his video the artist talked of movement
His sculptures bring his words to life

The guide says it’s too late to go there today
She says this many times, at many bus-stops
Right now we are outside the Scottish Parliament
We are told it won the Stirling prize for architecture

I myself think it disjointed and emblazoned
With all kinds of frippery, some of which I now
Learn is meant to be representative of open
Government; drawn curtains and the like!
