UNFILED 2022 FIELD REPORTAGE 3

the dove sways
with its weight

on the topmost curve
of the conifers branch

& the lily twice dead
is blooming today

~

you !  

flower !

you could have been anything

&

obvious & complete 

&

heavy headed in the wind swing

& 

on a bed of hard cold clay

you nod & nod & nod

like an old old man

at another VE day

DAWN QUESTIONS

dawns 
groundhog day 
ground zero
ambiguously greets

the red berry bush
its xmas cherries
its blips of sin 

in baby blues 
in fat dove greys
& 
striped 
jailbar 
black

antimatter bars band 
the cracked cement

~

it
asks
me
one thousand
offensive
questions

like a charity mugger
crazy on good intentions
& good methedrine

i tick NA
&
return to sender

in big red
crayon blood

~

well dawn
you knackered my mind
with your 
relentless
regular
routine

its a knackered 
steel wool ball now
all crammed & gummed

& 
it 
feels 
like magrittes apple
when 
the 
dolls come home
