…

will contain traces of

some stag & stoat

crisp winter mornings

& arse & scroat


twentieth century

clucked chickenpox

long-lost backdoor keys

& misplaced flocks


confused afternoons &

hot vindaloo

latex gloves & nuts

achoo - bless you


bubblewrapped sundays

& great shapes of ape

inner wind word-pools

& deepest space


will contain traces of

baked bakewell tart

ropy poetry

backsplashed piss art


tea every morning &

a jam sandwich

fucking bollocks shit

some bad language


recycled easters &

mowed astroturf

green of an evening

shrines to the earth


strawberries - hay bales

jigsaws & man

trust me - i am me

or think i am
