Your Apparition

Holy itself beats its

chest in awe of

the insightful

awesome

beauty

of your original

action

(19.11.1997)

Rabble

for babble the

girl and her shoe

I only dabble when

something is new

here is your ladder

you know what to do

all mad as the hatter

we believe this is true

(05.10.1997)

Tender

to the edge

of repair

Ripened by the

knowledge of recent

despair,

Walking with

bare feet around the town

fair the clowns they

swallow all things,

they don't seem

to care

(14.09.1997)

Dilly

for

Dally

Mixing for Nelly

Life and

These

Lollies

in

Bags

(02.09.1997)

Paparazzi

Camera

In your face

Dying

Tales

Flash the royal lady

Still unable to let her go

Even as life slipped from her

You aimed to hold her image

For more gain

A flash, a flash, a flash

You blow a flickered flame

(Written 02.09.1997 in response to the death of Diana, Princess of Wales 31.08.1997)

And Then

Now

I notice

I breath

I am thinking

Uncommon to realise

The odds of not being

Alive

(30.07.1997)

Council Worker's Revenge

That person

you

saw

leaning on a shovel

may

well

one day be seated

in the tractor used

to

fill

in

your

grave
