When I was very young  I stayed at my uncle’s house  In Southern Spain  As the nights were so warm  I shared the biggest bedroom  With Ana Sol my much older cousin  She was studying Political Theory  At the university in the city And rose early to catch the train  My cousin had some strange […]

I live next to the Metro in Paris  It overlooks my small apartment  High above the scruffy streets  I often watch these elevated trains  And think of the people in transit  What do they think of my tired home  My Blue Piano   My torn Picasso prints  My Lebanese girlfriend  Who enjoys cooking  In the shade […]

I have read your new book Guy  Did you like it  I did not understand it  What did you not understand Guy  The structure was confusing  At times it is set in 1946  And then in 1881 Characters change names genders and speak various languages  It is a book about love Robyn  My name is Guy  So is […]

I have just finished his Grain Novels  Which reflected his travels around Europe  His experiences his loves his life  But although I like his books  This one has left me rather cold  Perhaps he needs a rest from his writing  I hugged my wife this morning  As she has been troubled of late  Because of the illness […]

Calypso and I have often travelled on the night express to Scotland We dine on the train and afterwards read in our sleeping compartment But I do not immediately sleep as I take time out to write erotic poetry My wife apart from sleeping quite naked has always slept on her back I watch her […]

Agnes Molens 15th March 1493 is to be buried in the Cathedral graveyard near my husband Henry Molens  Where did you get that information from Stan  From Some Chichester Wills 1483-1504 Will you write a poem about Agnes Molens  I have not decided yet Jane  Perhaps  It has been such a busy week 

I was in bed with  Nostalgia of Summer We had been there  For some hours  But we were not asleep  As the wind was howling  And it was raining hard  As an entertainment We each chose A Summer memory  Mine was when Summer dropped  Her coffee when running  For an already late train  Summer’s memory Was […]

I love watching you shower Jane  All soap and sweet smells  I love your towelled nudity afterwards  And your scrubbed clean appearance  In a short while you will wear your gossamer gown  And your nudity will tease me as you drift around the room  All I can say to you is it jolly hard to write […]

Something very odd happened to me earlier today  I was on a bus and saw  clearly into the future  It was not spectacular but quite ordinary  I knew that a car had been involved in an accident  At a garage that was about a mile distant  When we passed this garage  A car could be seen […]

You were so beautiful yesterday  On a day that you had no right  To be as beautiful as you were  I have ignored the people  Who consider that they should share  The paleness of your beauty  I have not given them permission  To walk along your narrow streets  I dream of their destruction  The sun is just […]
