• A hopeless March

  Misery again Sinking, like I went walking through the Lincolnshire Fen A sheer fence is weak defence against enemy offensives Constantly on the defensive Waiting for something to let slip I tighten the slip into a noose Buds to nip, the final snooze My head heavy as a mounted moose Continuing tantamount to self abuse…

• Loss

  I remember how much half-smiling teachers loathed your interruptions I remember eruptions of laughter every time you spoke I remember buying weed from you, smoking it in the lane There are more good times than I now can remember in the haze of days We spent blazing in what seemed like hazy endless summers, pondering…
