Humber; Almost

Mottled wall
Brand new car
Window with balcony railings
Sun roof & automatic

Old town; Cuba or Peru
Neapolitan auto promotion
Photographs of here and there
Shot on fine grain film

Wind blows intense
Couples stress their words
I sit in the corner seat
Tap the tiny keyboard

Go back to the past times
Think on the opposition
The support of melody
Sat way outside the cafe

Where sky and hedgerows meet


This is a poem from Filmic: Love of Our World of Purples & Blues

Travel

She wears the flower print fine cotton scarf
Which almost matches the reddish pink, open-toe sandals
Is he her son, or is he her lover; the laughter suggests an intimacy
The demonstration to all around
Of a certain sort of quintessentially provocative relationship

The strawberry yoghurt is one strawberry strong 
& the Americano coffee is steamed through one shot
Of freshly ground and roasted bean

Men, who speak in high voices, surprise me
With their male conversation; that they are father and son
Is my more observant observation.

The young man (with glasses) shows off his sky blue tee shirt
Although I doubt from his complexion
That he has ever been to Buenos Aires, or anywhere else
That the Argentina La Albiceleste logo might suggest

Rising

Lost words
Words of umber and ochre
Words of self and ones other self

To wake
With ease of deep contentment
Scribe on softer gentler thoughts

Turn the tides
Of salted water
Into a life of finer scent

Tears and laughter
O breeze 
Of breeze

Their promises freed
Seized
With a kiss

What a beautiful day
Dreaming of you
Coming my way

What a beautiful dream
Everything changes
Everything stays the same

Table Time

Where they've been
Where they're going next
Where they have observed 

A few snipes at the unfamiliar
But mostly
How people here

Are much the same
As those back home
In New York

Twang
Withdrawn, also exited
Great emphasis wherever

Often with laughter
Yes and lots of reference
To o my God

Two guys
Sat side by side at table
They also did this yesterday

I wonder
If they spend much time
Travelling onboard inter-city trains

Willow weeps
Slightly wavers in the breeze
No hurry in this life

Except for the swallows
Whose movements are supercharged
With elegant stealth

On Ones Own

As the old man
Plodding by the silver birch
As the young man
Skipping along the river bank

Engaged by love of self
After, or before
The fall for the love of others

Wind and rain
Strike against the shared umbrella
Two as one at the onset of the summer

Walking sticks and selfless tricks
Take their turn towards the cabaret
Arm in arm the page three lit-chicks
Chase the uniformed blue beret
