poetry’s apotheosis

that rising feeling of sinking

the heights of depth

 footsie swim

upon the braille of pebbles

caution surfaces 

 on the coast path

salt torn from the sea

tore the daisies

 headline

aging slower slows aging

official

 arum 

scare um

yellow tongues

 a bandana

hides a multitude 

of chins

 midday heat

the crows take ownership of

the graveyard’s leisure

 modern media

terrible news

watch here

 bless you my son for your telomere is undone

 time

is the bottle’s cork 

weighing it all up

 bedside earrings 

collecting the starlight

of long kisses 

 a naughty magpie 

is stealing the cat’s food

morning’s open door
