the old Bill
OBTUSE MATEUS
Fourteen,
Snowdon,
Infatuation.
First summit gained,
But not the real one.
Return to base,
Bottle of Mateus Rose
Celebration.
Opening a bottle this evening
Sheds more than forty years.
Summit still not gained.

The old guy seems concerned about the height of the curb
so I assist him as he steps down to the street,
then walk with him to the other side so I might help again.

Later, I find forty-three bucks in his wallet and a faded picture
of a smiling young couple posed together on some tropical beach.

It pleases me that he's known better times.

Moments of love
Overshadow our anger
Freeing our spirits

here comes the bride-
I watch my daughter
walk away

breaking lanes

as I round the corner of the track
I flashback thirty years

when I try to pass the red baton
he’s gone, and I am old again

.LIFE LINES.

As my gaze fall's
From your face,
I take your hand's
Trace the life line's
That now spread like road's
And wonder which I should take.

.IDEAS.

Rummaging though some old unused poem's for idea's
Surely I must have some?
Folder's full with page's falling out
So many word's, full of many mixed emotion's
Where did all my idea's once, all come from?
Some people have an idea a day
Some million's - who are they?
Those are probably the suspicious one's.

Anyway, floor full of word's and many of my book's
Sitting in silence
I could even hear a pin drop
Instead I watch the rain drop's
Trickle down my window pain
Whilst it fiercely run's down tiled roof top's.

- Still unable to find new idea's
SO I sit back with my hot brew
And listen to the crazy wind and rain.

a murder in my street
the other side

waiting for small words
the echo that never comes
unspoken truth fails

LUNCH WITH WAGNER

My German grandmother stepped
out of an expressionist painting
and SCREAMED.

She was as big, and loud, and strong
as a Teutonic opera queen.

You better believe
I cleaned my plate.
