World Music

Fine points, in sharp shadows
Ambient sounds of discretion
Any other room; past times
Always to find
Another room

Clear as light, and dark
Famously white & blue (turquoise)

Some part of a touchstone
As emerald or jade

Sharp contrast to the Jet
To the full coloured beach huts
On the long curve
Of a new found
Promenade

Iceland

Taken Down
Moving out, sideways
On sleigh paths
To landing strips

Would you be there
If I were to ask you

Taken out
Moving down, sideways
With winters sun
Out to frozen sea

If I were, to ask you
Would you be there

Kings Head

Edge of danger
You, excited
To place me
Outside my comfort zone

Alcohol and modish music
Rough diamonds
Minders and molls

Edge into danger
You, pushy
Pushing me
Into the middle of their pack

Rock and roll & sweet soul music
Crazed and crazy minds
Life here has taken its toll

Don’t

Before the crescendo
Before the nightlight-doused
Songs and stories of sailors
Notes of notes, for notes

Patterns of preoccupations
Ploughed fields and the like
A desire to become foolish
Once more to act the clown

Only in defence of course
Neither guile nor indifference
To carry it off for real
Unsure enough for all that
