Least known or unknown address

Valedictory eyes

Purple gaze on to no one

A precursor to the past people

Of my present premonition

From the Collection One Crow to a Tree - Love in Separate Houses available from Lulu

Unusually I am keeping going

I am on my way

To somewhere of little interest

I keep going

For something usual may occur

Fundamental

To superficially soak

In the stupendous stupor

Of not even half understanding

The weighty tome before me

With style, form, scholarly

Vocabulary; a resonant

Ambiguity holds me transfixed

By its inadmissible beauty

Kras

Two sparrows and two children

Two adults buy two ice creams

Two whitewashed walls to sit upon

Two buttons carefully undone

Two aprons of the hovercrafts skirt

Two swellings in your cotton shirt

Two adults lift two happy children

Two shire horses draw the carriage

Two islands washed in innocent sun

One marriage skillfully wrecked 

One love, selfless & helplessly half won

From the Collection One Crow to a Tree - Love in Separate Houses available from Lulu

Barrier

Have the sense to use those other mens words
Such that your own sensitivity is protected
Hold back your empty tears with their thoughts
Such that your scars will wash off easy as mascara

Let those wandering poets shake the blossom
While you are magnified by the blue skies
That they may talk of doubt and grief and longing
To depths that your imagination needs not imagine
