Joe I was watching a home movie  Shot a number of years ago  By the father of my American friend  Which showed him ripping up a magazine  That featured Jane Fonda on the cover  It was taken as the Vietnam War  Was drawing to a close  He does not speak  Although he quietly mutters Bitch  […]

Talk to me Lukas  It is time to sleep  It is time to weep  Wet Sister  Fabulous  Hollow Reed pipes  Men are Weak  God Coloured Days 

I am sitting with my sister  On a railway station  My brother is a train driver  He has visited my mother  As she has been unwell  We are quietly awaiting  The latest news from home

Why do you sit alone my friend Because that is the way you made me  I wanted to be gregarious and social  But you left me in this darkened room  With limited views over the city 

Yes I am lying in the ground  But my lips are moving  Who said that Joe  The poet Osip Mandelstam  He was one of the first Russian poets I read after Pushkin  Like many other writers he incurred the wrath of Stalin  It did not help that he wrote  His cockroach moustache laughs  Perching on his […]

You are sometimes known  As the Oak Moon or the Cold Moon  This is your final visit before you  Fade into deep winter
