Night

Somewhere in the folds of their palms,

       beneath the skin they

       feel giddy depths of thrilling darkness,

complex, rotating crystals,  black fractals

splayed legged under yellow lights 

breathing cold smoke and fumes to private 

music, traffic, Doppler perfume,

muscular humming & fizzing against a

weight of atmosphere soaking into a throat 

open and greedy

                       spring-heeled

Dancing

                                                                                     "... this oaf had acquired instant grace ..."



A machine for flying deep
blue
         through the sweat and the aching calves

in a pathetic fallacy

                       from under
        oppresive strings

smiling is good

                  and they can feel the grain of a
cold morning

solidly built and distinctive in design

Photo-poem:

solidly built and distinctive in design

solidly built and distinctive in design

downwards and has to be met 

and outwards too, just as immense 

these in their pressing out

pushing up

engineering 

complications

running 

a hand gripping a smooth kettle handle

buttocks on a bed 

green morning

water on glass

tea

dust & a collapsing sofa,

rust, a

pain in a gut

dirt in cracked skin 

at the ends of fingers

lonely bonhomie 

rescue dog 

tiny children

football

& bicycles 

golden morning 

shouting suspended 

on waving

heat

glimpsed force

of a

relaxed gait

blue morning 

roses

a palm tree

a discarded hat

rusting black metal

small, intense and private fires
