I DREAMED OF A PARTY

go to a party

only allowed in the hallway

given glossy mags to read

cluster of us 
on hard wooden chairs

front door right there

boasts about the sound system
valves and wood
but no music plays

whisper goes round
host is ill

host is ill . . .

wrap it up ?

wrap it up

front door is right there
perfect

we leaving

best party ever

FOREVER CAT

the cat
is soft & warm & here

fur hot
from the winter sun
coming in the front room window

the feel of it
it takes me somewhere

& i bury my face
into his coat

and go there

for
all
the
times
when
i
wont
be
able
to
anymore

RESIDUE

now is now
then
its
gone

sitting here in a workshirt
  crinkled and creased
  like i pulled it from a dogs arse
  i
search 
for the glow
in
our
residue

now is now - now is HOT
then
its
gone - cooled
  and 
  tucked into diarys / stashed in the ice box
  with 
the spilled peas
and
tomorrows
casserole
