• Tarot reading

  Rood-shaped like a pugilist wingspan conveying The shade of a sword handle; glaive planted like a plant of the grave. The haziness of early day rapidly supplanted by grey, slapping rain Which slantedly aimed seems pointedly animated. Biting night gnaws animaline my unsightly binding chord, Bores the jewel-floored chalice. A queen by manner and habit,…

• Card tapping at Dignitas (further house hunting trauma dumps)

  Delay after delay A much needed string change A much needed property for sale Neither city-situated nor confined to wild dales We offered, they took it, here comes happy days I hated the work but I loved the pay I feared the worst and, in a way, loved that pain Close to tight pyjamas and…

• A peek in at my quiet peak

  Went from in the zone To dipping my toe to crashlanding, again, Without so much as a “Sorry” note. What I’m writing’s better than ever before, exploratory, new forms, And making more than two performing rabbits, Who adore each other and are extremely attracted like opposing magnets, During a storm stuck indoors. It’s all going…

• 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,…

• An encounter with ill manners

  How quick it all changes The world turns, the worm turns A single word and the whole pail’s curdled Human kindness clags to quasi cheese You wheezing disease of a being You can be counted upon only to offend You give temper many pleasant, jury-agreeing reasons You rile me as none have done recently since…
