And the sensitive theme
Of an imaginary teardrop
Slowly, oh, so so slowly
Rolling down my cheek
You
And the evocative dream
Of talking, and talking
For such a long long time
About talking later

Balcony Cafe
Fresh fruit Pavlova
Large black Americano
Photographs
Of the sculptures
And the Red Telephone Box
Indulgence
Laid upon indulgence
Laid upon the greatest indulgence of all
Wire ropes
Cored through metal posts
Rust forms
At the exact point of interaction
Meditation
On the Yorkshire Stone steps
Beneath Not Vital's
Let 100 flowers bloom

Ask, Then Ask Her Again
Why
Maybe the best of all questions
Why to return
Why to reinforce the memories
Why not
Perhaps then an even better question
Why not feel
Why not re-engage the emotions
Where and when
To embellish the situation
To create a depth of field
When and where
To give a distance
To chance at definition
How and who for
Without doubt
To be at the centre
Who for and how
With doubt
Though hints at clarification

Bare And White
I was an apprentice to a head gardener
Although I have to say his demeanour was more of poacher or gamekeeper, a wily old character
He sold flowers to the master, most of which were picked from the master's grounds
This particular morning we were persuading the master to buy two large roses
The head gardener was showing off two very large roses
One placed to each side of the not insubstantial fireplace
Afterwards I was taking a cutting of a flower, from a bush or a tree
In pulling off the flower I also pulled away a long strip of bark
Which showed the bare white branch beneath, as if to remind me of virginity
Or as if to remind me of the sap, which once did rise

Maybe I Really Do Need A List
I intend to set out a timetable, to let go of several things before I retire
I imagine by that time to have written my last piece of work inspired by, or relating to, you know who
I may close down blogs, or websites, which link to any of my previous Subterfuge of Love writings
Should I send off any previous publications which specifically relate to YKW
Should I approach potential publishers, or should I just let go of my pseudonym
What could I think of, to fill, what will be a significant hole in my writing inspirations, without YKW
But is this just another gesture, to box everything up, to post it off, only then to start again
Maybe I really do need a list, or a stronger, more truthful motivation
