henry the seventh
tudored richard of york’s horse
& his kingdom too
…
slips on barnacled rocks
time for a grazing
crabs in salted pools
scabs from the exotic past
scatters on a dryer land
stand on grassy ground
see the ewe & lamb
hear the song of birds in flight
herds of cows – the people
ordinary’s skirge
grey wojak towns
grainy sand between us
sky in each sigh
shrouded in thick cloudbursts
thirsting for act three
we, the parched players
arch like marbled structures
corpse each stifled line
faded from green
in some autumn woodland shrine
hooded like a monk
in lieu of a rusty key
then came the skeletons
dancing after dawnbreak
…
…
polygon doorway
waking the deaf
feathered friends scatter
wednesday’s ghost
stories before thee
pigeon o’ clockwork
certain of this
the mist on the meadow
green because she’s blue
the unscrewed hinge
& whinging chaffinch
…
…
stalking the corridors
she is dismal death
watching us like carrion
until we nowak
as we go about
business in this mad house
you are now tuned in
to radio broadmoor
fm & online
out the other – said the actress
but we’d rather be sleeping
on a bed, comfy mattress
yet the dark is a lark
& community is bright shite
bites in the night
but the bugs shall not become us
…

there’s a man that sits
on the bus i catch that looks
like harold shipman
…
…
ducks watch over us
& they quack at us below
‘hullo’ on their way
…
…
rain in between us
she’s swimming in a puddle
my hosepipe is banned
