Caretaker
An amusement park
Yet
It’s always closed
For renovation
To him
Who else has had the pleasure
Of experiencing every single
Diversion here?
Lips frosted with pink sugar
Taste but here, how he sweeps the floor,
Tighten the bolts on the tracks,
Pour soothing sawdust on sour puddles,
And yes there is depth of value
But he sees the symphony of lights
Hear the calliope, calygpian
Music and looks at the ticket stub,
Illegible from where he’s touched it
So often
Understand there are off seasons
But where is his fried gold summer?
Knowing his place and musing
Why he’s not allowed
The run of you all
When he plays so well
So well
So
Well

Kisses As prayers
Damp from the rain outside
And dirt under my nails
Hands shaking with fatigue
And there you are
Bare to me
Excuse the rough way I look at you
I’m elegant hunger
Except sometimes the sight of you
Overpowers me
Take you and pin down
This writhing hunger within
Because I’m supposed to be a furtive
Appendage but I’m a satyr,
A lustful pilgrim finding
Salvation between your quivering
Thighs and my kisses there
Are prayers
And I pray with such focus
That we will both see God.

Small cup of quiet
Somewhere a bird sings
And I’ve found a small cup of quiet
Going to drink it
Slow wake up call to my soul
Pages written and now it’s not
Affectation knowing it will walk a
Path into the world
Lover asleep
Walk the dog
Things to do
Used to resent it
But I’m working on
Contemplating how
There’s pleasure in the smallest things
The thought, a biscuit,
Goes well with the quiet
Enjoy them both
Before the day begins,
If you don’t know, my book Until She Sings is out now in paperback and ebook.

Raw Velocity
What do we pretend to know?
The world moves so fast
And we’ve had new fears to contend with,
Being left on the wrong side of the road
Seeing everyone else having a good time,
And you’re still figuring out how
We found ourselves in this mess,
Pretending it was a party,
But it is a good world
If you can bear the raw velocity
Long enough to take a breath
Eyes burning
Hands callused
Heart hardened and opened
At the same time
All now is love
Smile as we tiptoe through the trees
Looking for a shadow to kiss beneath,
My book Until She Sings is out now.

God shaped holes
Was it removed like an inflamed
Appendix?
Do you finger the scar and realise you’ve been misled
Into the slate desert where the candles
Never stay alight
And you’ve tried to jam in different
Things
Sex, drugs, art, politics,
But in the end
You look at those who kept theirs
Or had one transplanted from a willing donor
And wonder how you’ll ever get through the book you started

Lights In The Sky
Before they launch,
We would
Find one another
In the dark
Suspended in amber
Amidst a throng of witnesses
As they whispered
Hopes
Fears
There are lights in the sky
But in the end
If it were too dark to read
I would just want to look
At you
For the
First
Last
Time
The look in my eyes
Time enough
A kiss
To say one another’s names
Then they are
Here
