Blessed
Blessed are those
happy in their skin
enjoying a raucous
belly laugh
without a care
to notice
the pretenders
cring with embarrassment.

As One
When the earth
Was already old
And the world
Was awash with dreams
And the voices
As they rose
From the sea
Sang beautifully
In unison.

Because They Could
How I miss you
at night
when the stars
come out to play
the good sleep
and evil wakes
from the enveloping
dread
rises
a mushroom
cloud.

Bitter Mead
The burial ground
In the fairest meadow
Turns barren and fallow
NO one seeds the land
With tears
When the faces
On the tombs
Are stone.

Jesus At The Fair
The horses
bob bob bobbing
to the music
rock rock rocking
how happy we are
going round
on the merry-go-round
Mother Mary, Joseph and me.

The Alba
We wait for the dawn
we wait for the morning
we wait
for this or that
until the the wick
has consumed
the wax
and the flame
peters out.

In A Tizz
You've got
my arse
in a sling
my guts
for garters
and my balls
as a trophy
while I
piroutte
like mad
a crescendo
looking for a falsetto.

War
As the drum rolls
end
the lightning
wanes
the trumpeter
solos
The Last Post
deadly spores
from mushroom clouds
fall gently
to the ground.

The Elysium Field
The Elysium Field
awaits us
assails the senses
with smell
blank stares
at the end
of the line
the waiting in purgatory
for heaven or hell.

The Fire Sale Of Qualms
I'll tell you
straight out
what's non-negotiable
and what's non-core
look
I'm a reasonable man
for a price
anything
can walk out
the door.
