Journey

Listening marsh light,
Whispers, upwelling,

Refuge

Children come close and hold me.
I am afraid of this old house,

Someone sometimes

Sometimes stepping from under a dream,
Into a sudden clearing of the senses,

Special Measures

Last summer in nights of romance,
Sun tan lotion, factor fourteen,

Troll

They spat at me
tall and beautiful

Walking at night

I could see the horizon
Silhouettes of trees

When dawn

No-one had even a message,
Wrapped in their transitory spaces
