Small adventures


1.

Are these leaves with black fungal kisses
living things or parts of living things or gathered up?

Sulfur stench at tunnel mouth
Impossible grass at the feet

Barge Horse Way cuts through estate

Whitest skinny kid
on some holy bicycle
Hermetick mudcaked machinery

I can see the outside of the rain


2.

Willesden Green and Finsbury
are melting among the green meadows

Now the flabby clouds shift at film speed

Memory eeks


3.

Bruise on the knee is lovely and petals
Cup the swell

Plaster teeth on piano are alive
and the piano teeth too

Pick off the scab and
show up the hollow

You fell by the woods but don't know why

  1. Wonderful... a prosody and vision beyond filmic!

  2. Scabs and bruises and memory eeks -- feels almost like home...

  3. Very fine--especially the lines
    "Bruise on the knee is lovely and petals
    Cup the swell"
