2/2 November (cont.)

Give me now the heat of August
Not these fluey aches and strains
Bumble bee-buzz, hover-fly drone
No more shitty low-grade pains

Give me back forgotten summer
Not this bloody purgat’ry
Epic mountain, wild sweet heather
No more Blighty misery

A poem for the last weeks...

1/2

November

Give me now the flowers of summer
Not these sodden rains and chills
Dusky cosmos, Texas bluebell
No more sodding ‘lectric bills

Give me now the scent of fresh-June
Not this grey-dank buggery
Clean-cut green hay, sweet-sharp berry
No more sniffing whinery

Give me now sweet sounds of July
Not this cut-price winter show
Waking chorus, sleepy pigeon
No more half arsed melty snow

later

we will build a mountain
out of their shoes
dedicate museums
to what once was
and someone will write a book
filled with old photographs

“monuments once stood
where this parking lot resides
all gone now
and isn’t it a pity”

I’m out at a happy place. I have never met a single soul here. The dog and I have it to ourselves. It’s not on the way to anywhere and it’s not a destination. I’ve said before that it restores the spirit and relieves stress; not that I have a great deal of stress in my life. I hope you can feel the calm…

Who steals the goose from off the common
And geese will still a common lack
Till they go and steal it back "
