ABOUT WRITING

just cos i dont know 

  why i still do it
  is no reason to stop

just cos i dont know 

  right now does not mean 

  the reason is not SOUND

just cos i dont know
  isnt reason to lose trust

  in that me who did

  cos

he was onto something

  or 

he was ON something

  either way 

  strap in

  beacon lit

TWO X HAY(NU)KU

CURL OF A SHRIMP

in the corner 

of the sofa
in the corner 

of the room

the cat sleeps

silent & shaped

in the curl 

of a shrimp

& the night air

thru open windows
tussles zephyrs in 

his slumbering thatch

GARDENSONG

i was not sure
if it was either 

a magpies or jackdaws
but the black feather 

i found on sunday

& picked right up

& tucked neatly into 

my wide brimmed hat

because of any minute
reality / might / can / will

kick in the door
& pick me up

easy as mashed potatoes
or ham on rye

CAFESONG

 

i halved my dosage

in blind optimism

hoping for the reward 

of time served

instead i was sentenced 

to weird translucence 

no verses between me 

& the thin chorus 

of an xray sun
