DREAM BLEEDS

pink sky
white lawn

&
at the kitchen table
coffee
slaps
me
around
the breakfast things

till 
i 
realise / admit
i am 
not meeting 
a wizard today

the man in a purple gown fades out
back to dreamscape
not meant for the sun

& sky glows now
on the
wet lawn shine

APRIL BLOOMS

bath tap is busted

i lay down
& pretend its not

~

i look at the windmill on the wall

everything is beyond me today

~

&
outside
of here 
aprils blowing 
its own blooms
away

EXPLODING HEAD SYNDROME 1, A NEURAL BIOLOGY POP

waking-nod
&
nodding-woke
is 
an 

In-between World

of 
name shouts
calling for YOU

~

apocalypse noise there
rends the ether asunder

& 
six soap operas
roll cues as one

as
phantom fender benders
smash-crash somewhere
outside the windows glass

STREET VIEW

"i dont mind what congress does,

as long as they dont do it in the streets

and frighten the horses"

said victor hugo

NEIGHBOUR POP 4

3.  MORNING

school governess  
leaves 
her 
corner empire
for dawn tai chi

gravel u-drive 
round 
a palm tree island

the flame tree there

will catch
low afternoon sun

long shadows
on
the
parade ground



2.  FUNERAL

&
all
the
firemen came out quiet
for
her
husbands death convoy

100 years ago

like the soldiers they are



1.  LAST ACT

i watched
amazement escalating
as

her porch
took him
four years
to build

& its not special

but to her

like the soldier it is
