Differing

See

Close up

See

Far away

See

All the flaws, the brushstrokes

See

How it glistens, the composite whole

Enter the storyteller, all turquoise & jewels

Towing a casket

& a cast

Of one hundred thousand children

Pieter

Contrived

Always in thought

Scarred

He came home

To decorate the tree

Hist

Words in Amsterdam

With this land, far and

Away from Zen, a place 

Of smoke and mirrors

With houses that stand

No, lean; front to back

Side to side; five, six

Seven stories high

Another city centre tram 

The praying mantis is

Judaism’s crossed brethren

This hall of talk and jitters

Where tales of remand

Mean leave some slack

Take a ride; jive, fix tricks

Heaven’s door is nearby

Vittles

Less clear
The beer
In the restaurant

No fear
We have taken
Our photographs already

On Landing

Is there phlegm when you cough

The doctor asked

Are there bicycles

In Amsterdam 

I should have said

Is the warm head

Another sign

Of my illness, or

Do the busy places

Always burn so brightly
