Fragments

Net curtains

Diffused sodium light

Open windows

Rumble by road-noise

Four shadowed walls

Unlocked doors

Knocked on 

By night-time security

The eleven-fifteen

To Kings Cross

Rattles its accompaniment

To bright eyes

With uninterruptible

Index fingers

Chapel Poem

Two chairs, side by side

By the fire extinguisher

Shadows of calm foreboding

Footsteps all outside

Breath of breath my only music

Percolates the present’s presence

He stands in the doorway

With cigarette and mobile phone

She is further away

He remonstrates

It is a one way conversation

We don't do that confession stuff

Otherwise I would happily

Share a chair with you

Sit and talk, you know

Side by side

Welcome my brother

Please share my stillness

This is one cool place

On one warm day

Other Lights

Trees of bronze, fields of gold

Skies of blue, but turning cold

In my heart and in my voice

Seeking out the other choice

For my love and I we are caught

Life of work with families fraught

All the pains past teenage angst

Lets cut our losses & sail to France

Buy the gite and start to dance

Yet in truth we know we're tied

Fanciful times of love we cried

So smell the coffee & tie the lace

It’s off to work, we're on the case

Adversarial

Trouble says to turn away

Trouble turns another day

Half a life lived in your head

Halfway there and almost dead

Seems your troubles here to stay

All you know you know it well

Know it all but naught to tell

Count to ten and pause your lip

Take the time, kiss fingertips

Find the path where freedom fell

Listen, to the words you don’t

Want to hear; hear, the painful

Words and hear them clear

Formed by love, powered with care

Your life alone they dare to share
