The energy for words
Superficial I says no
Inner I says rejoice
Some place between
A party & a wake
Places to settle

Room 29
His text message wakes me
Unusual for him to be unsure
Yet I do know that attribute
To be deeply embedded
In the family genes
Unusual too that he should ask me
To meet his friend, to go for lunch
Where does the guy who waits tables live
In this upbeat town of mobile high achievers
Where too the Pacamac clad cheerful youth
Who talks to himself as he gathers the litter
In the picture there is not one physical soul
The yellow orange sky cast shadows on peaks
The sea is more energetic than at peace
Its soul being some place deep embedded

Quaffing Times
Pizza with spring duck topping
Finest draught Peroni
The music is a bit ropey
But there is football on TV
& I am reminded
Of the seaside bar in St Ives

Crossword
Close fitted, bespoke
A good cloth
Stretched across
A sound back
But what of his mind
Head bowed as it is
Silver grey hair
Weight of wisdom
Yesterday, in his Bermuda shorts
With the blonde haired girl from West Virginia
They climbed the steps to the Buddhist temple
But today it is his, yours, and my, Thursday

Ancient Night
To say, with a slant how easily the ink flows
In time with Bodhrán, in tune with trembled lute
To kick step
Back on to the straight and varied
No room here for lust or love
No courtship of free-flowing
Nor frozen memories
At that the song ends
Its partner takes to the dance floor
Slow steps
Lithesome glides
Sunlight of shadow
Her voice enters; how not to give
Having, as you have, given all before
