Iceland

Taken Down
Moving out, sideways
On sleigh paths
To landing strips

Would you be there
If I were to ask you

Taken out
Moving down, sideways
With winters sun
Out to frozen sea

If I were, to ask you
Would you be there

Kings Head

Edge of danger
You, quite excited
To place me
Outside my comfort zone

Alcohol and modish music
Rough diamonds
Minders and molls

Edge into danger
You, pushy
Pushing me
Into the middle of their pack

Rock and roll & sweet soul music
Crazed and crazy minds
Life here has taken its toll

Don’t

Before the crescendo
Before the nightlight-doused
Songs and stories of sailors
Notes of notes, for notes

Patterns of preoccupations
Ploughed fields and the like
A desire to become foolish
Once more to act the clown

Only in defence of course
Neither guile nor indifference
To carry it off for real
Unsure enough for all that

Faith Wrap

Into and out of the darkness
Only briefly to sidle up
To the edge-lines of paranoia

Still to search out beauty
In the scentless black tulip
Still to wonder on truth
In the words of named poets

Into, again into, into the pleasures
All hours to dream & daydream
On sounds of pianos and minarets
