Dancing Between Us

Lips hold touch hostage
Give and take endlessly
Two and one and tongue
Breath and wet and taste
Lips are moments of sense
Pillars of feeling

St(a)mpin' Tom Connors

I stamp my feet in ground anger
That's the eqivalent of Stompin' Tom
Less guitar, more imprints

Clouds and Sky

I betray you in silence
In rough moments of sex
In kissing others
Before the sun rises,
Before it sets and then again after
I betray you in omission

When You Grow Up

Ambition
to be a
car park attendant
is
barely
ambition
at all.

The Curvature of the Earth

Always wind, always water
Draw your face in dry sand and wet sand
It looks like an Aztec painting
Washed away or blow away
Always wind, always water

England

Varacose veins and trains
Pit stains
Journey and time
Vodka, water, lime.
Blue eyes and tobacco pipe
(Also rolled cigarettes and the occasional bottle of wine.)
Black man, sterotype
(Witches are burned alive as well as adulterers.)
Hand sanitizer and wife beater
Curdled milk in half litre
Flash of light
Sight
Moment and automobile
Car, sorry.
Bar and beer and laughs
Pillar of giraffes
Quiz show
Look! A homo
Burned sweater and no hoodies allowed
Ten millon blue to a single cloud.

Concrete

I havn't written in a while
And clogs made of stone are heavy
They weight down your feet until
Leg are chains and muscles prison
I don't recommend them, I don't think.
