• Glued to the deluding mirror

  I suppose we all cast the Hercules role for ourselves In our proposed most audacious, rose-lit fantasies of the past First to last and last to first, life’s process: the removal of blessings Tides changing and fits and starts and droughts and bursts Hurts and blurted loves, haloed doves and rages like rockets Comets hurtling,…

• Taking so many drugs that my personality becomes a mistake I can alter with an eraser.

  Like an eye an hour before sleep  I become divorced from Me Bleeding reasons onto the leaves  Last night again that same dream, Parisian Lost in a maze, samefaced streets, ablaze lamplight on rain sleekness Walking shamefaced, backstreets route to her place Write something true: Left bright-eyed, came home bereft in a torn and muddy…

• Orb of Maybes

  To love and suffer, to suffer another, is embarrassing awfully I wouldn’t permit it normally but I am bit; the romance of Paris Makes my heart Her garret; Her sweet nothings mine parrots Where it leads; the lesson dawns: the tale in telling grows awesomely Awaiting first frost’s thaw, in awe of glassy, classy, crystalline…

• Utter loathing

  What lends meaning a moment I am a parchment-lacking Golem in a Prague apartment My empty head compartment hoping for consonants Once intermittent pain becomes constant I am not insane but in my own life acting as some alien Interfering from without, I am veering ever further south, pale  And grey the long and silent…

• Beddybyes

  Half a hot chocolate to send me to bed Warm in my tummy as I lay down my head All outside silent, no word from my lip Softly off drifting gone who knows how long Who knows where, without a care  Dreaming myself fairer Fairer draws, bolder gambols  Bigger balls, longer pauses but  Longer applauses.
