Come ask me questions
of thoughts I’ve forgotten
and send me dreaming
to a distant road
where music is free
and tired feet
don’t stop dancing
when the tap is dry
Moon heron blue tide
Wandering naked lonely
Covered in feathers
faster bird flew
Where long haired brother
smoking soothing sadhu
can sit at leisure
or stand or lay
(or be lain!)
Lovers fall off the train
Drinking wines on Summer strut
Trough graveyards old tombstones
White women in dresses
With cotton torn old sole
rubbed closet rug
Shoe stains got gritty
in dusty old trunk
Her wig bleach bald
eyes lacking interest
Tired old neck feels
like a head on a stool
Thespian laughter
grouped in the attic
They animate slowly
in the shape of ‘you’
Ghosts get me closer
on hot summer drives
Up North to see dams
and **** forest rivers
In dark we then travel
with Kings of old tidings
and Queens who lay buried
the lamppost their bed
Laying so gently
the Bishop wife Medley
The grass that laid bare
of yesterday’s supper
The lamppost we take
a notion of tender
Still a safe haven
so deep in my heart
The sunset of splendour
the primary sunrise
they howl their jowls
Hysterical laughter
