                proven

global heating predictions


           cold comfort

 four tomatoes 

in a red colander 


on a wet day

 just time

to collect the windfall apples


it is late

 skipping

down the path to the sea

two butterflies

 floating

on a sargasso sea of words

elvers leave in droves


clucking

in the warm straw

laying eggs



dripping

from a deciduous morning

dew drops

 i was going to use artificial stupidity

but i prefer the real thing

 they taught me and i learned it all away

 summer  and

the boys feast on halcyon 

completely unaware

 cracked mirror

i see two eyes and three legs

four dimensions

 clouds 

borne along by the wind

born in blue 

children of the sunshine

all of them naughty boys

 on the dark dawn tree

there is one leaf in the sun


and then another

 alcohol and sport

the opium of the masses

as the world burns

    overgrown by time

  my grandfather’s grave


     one more lost soul

 decisions

a cat waking up decides

to go back to sleep

a cat waking up decides

purrfecto mondo 

 gusty 

racing a butterfly 


down to the sea 

 sitting cat

waiting for a decision 


sunshine

 washing line

damp grass and footprints


dawn sunshine

 closer to the Buddha 

the bigger your smallness 

become you

           fuck!

hanging in the air

  like a red flare


 climate change

changing climate

Thursday, 10 August 2023

we carry water

because we are the water

we carry on

 climate change

beneath the air conditioning 

washing machines spin

the footballers have clean kits

so all’s right with the world?

 snatched words

wormholes to another world’s

vast fastness passing

 let them drink a mea culpa of this their shitty sea
