without searching (the nine days of christmas day one)

i have no desire to know how things got here

neither do I seek out intellectual arguments

i do hope to be able to become so close that

i form temporary or permanent attachments

todays blue skies, friendships again reunited

tonight’s theatrical performance, with scripts 

by the lady who wrote Dinner Ladies, based on

voltaire’s book Candide; it is for the best; it is

poems as prayers

from a non-religious person

yet someone trying to be

a spiritual person

Have A Good Holiday

Leaving You Behind

Shallow waters, heavyweight grasses

The first signs of singular stratification

Small boats, outlandish plans, time

To stand in line for disembarkation

Derrynane House

Only the red rust light, behind these calm closed eyes

Only the muffled conversation, and the sounds of soft rolling seas

Only the sweet scent of a flower, that I am unable to define

Other than it has a lemon blossom, and grows wild on the dunes

Viewing Point

The immensity of it all, caught in an instant, with our instant camera

We have become more Japanese than the Japanese, who take their pictures standing on the overhanging wall

Yet it is we who are quiet, whilst it is they who make boisterous conversation “ya, ya, ma”, “ya, ya, ma”

Motoring

The winding river winds

Winds away from the bridge

Where the winding water flows

Slow days

Have gone by so slowly

As we try to reach out

Reach out for our destination
