NYCTINASTY


A floral nightmare,
A circadian reminder
To pay homage to the veil.

We must not cower in the night,
Toffee-brittle,
                        shaking
In dark light.

The rhythm rules a return,
That we shall again
Drink together of the sun.

REBIRTH - DELAPRE ABBEY





BUILDING HOPE



When the last cough has dried
And the last tears have cried
What sort of world will we see?
When there's no fight for food
No more solitude
Let's stockpile bricks from the  debris.

21st Century Nursery Rhymes #2


The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat:
They took flight for Britain, this bird and this kitten,
Refugees hardly afloat.

21st Century Nursery Rhymes #1


There was an old woman
Who lived in a shoe
She was a rough-sleeper
Her dog lived there too
The council can't help
She justs needs a bed
The dog turned on her
And now they're both dead.

CO-CODOMAL DREAMING (part 2)

I dreamt I drove a
Custard car
On a jelly track
I hit some cream
In this strange dream
I was a trifle slack.

Now Wash Your Hands
Now Wash Your Hands
Now Wash Your Hands

Again!
