  • Dove

    It all started with a London Cake And a bench in a medieval town I was waiting for a bus When I was approached By a most beautiful dove Who had the saddest eyes That I had ever seen I enquired of her sadness And she looked at the sky Where are the other birds […]

  • The Signal Box

    I invited Tomaso Albinoni into my signal box  We chatted about music between trains  And drank endless cups of tea  I played his Adagio in G Minor  On the sound system that I had erected  In my remote workplace  Next to the blue butterfly wood 

  • The Signalman

    During the weeks before Christmas  I started making mistakes  Serious mistakes  Very serious mistakes  Which resulted in a rear end collision  Near to the entrance of the tunnel  Seventeen innocent people died  Because of my incompetence I had no idea why these mistakes occurred But I was subsequently sent to prison  Where I hung myself […]

  • In Paris 

    She wanted to die  But She also wanted  To live in Paris  Who said that Stan  Flaubert  Did She get her wish  Yes  She spent the rest of her days in Paris  What was her name  She  No her name  She called herself She  I am not aware that she had any other name  What […]

    She wanted to explore my rhythms  But I was not so sure  I said that we should wait Until the new year  She agreed  Dressed  And returned To her bookshop

  • Stan and Jane Catch a Train 

    Everyman takes the limits of his own field of vision  For the limits of the world  who said that  Schopenhauer what was he saying  Basically that you accept that your own limits  Are the limits of the world  Which they are not  We all differ  My field of vision is different than yours  Take the platform edge for […]

  • The Last Living Man

    I the last living man  That sees the real earth and skies  Actual life and real death  The others are all prophets and believers Delirious with fevers of faith    What said that  Robinson Jeffers  Why are you asking me that question Cleo  Because Jane is in the bath  She likes her self time  Most women do  […]

  • Faggots and Fleas

    I often purchase faggots  From my local Iceland store  Faggots have never been to my taste  As I prefer wholesome red meat  But there is a reason that I use this shop  An odd reason some of you may say  That is because I have a prehistoric creature in my lower garden  Its origins are […]
