Origin Of Species

I was quite determined

You also perhaps

Having given to me

Your telephone number


You also had shown determination

Going up to London to see an old flame

Yet you returned

To invite me onto the dance floor

Giddy

Un something or other

Goes along

Unknowingly

Unsteady

Unruffled

Underneath

Unknowingly

Undone

Unjust

Just that

That’s all

Unkempt

Undistinguished

Unknown

Time-Travellers

From a small space

To a nowhere place

A meandering stream

To a river in spate


From a village

To a county

Which I call my own

Yet where I don’t belong


From a main road

To a motorway

Over a suspension bridge

To a walled city


Where love

Invited me

To the gallery

Then the theatre, and finally the hotel

Wet Sands

Wallace Stevens

Let the fish go


I hung-on

To our sea-fret moorings


Now I talk of Saturday’s sunlight

In what is the overlong season of mists
