as eyes seize it
lowly woodlouse
not even the cat bothers
just watching
winter swimming
my fingers are sausages
my toes are white
i can see the sea
it looks very cold to me
are you sure
these latter days
so many ends of the road
where next pray say
so many faces
stone cold in the snow
with frozen smiles
frosted wall
it takes an ungloved hand
to really know
Late January
the snow is melting again
I peel some parsnips
snow and soft music
the up and down escalators
of the morning
in your shrine
the bell curve of hope
takes toll
one of them moments
when you stop and look and think
and then it is gone
give me some stones
mortar of an idea
i’ll build a tower
the spider rescued
i can soak in the bath
all pink and wrinkled
swimming back
all of my fears return
to the sea
twenty zettajoules
four atomic bombs per second
hot seas get hotter
terminology nouveau
too late
clotted cream
the cat perfectly mimics
my every move
you learn more from cul de sacs than straight roads
hot or cold
beach pebbles are beach pebbles
cold or hot
the sanity of lunacy
is the sanctuary of the sane
in a mad world
the high water line
every there is stranded there
you are then
sea swimming
the egg timer of pains
turns over
white greenhouse
a hard frost lying about
the flowering pots
winter
a cat and a log fire
snoozing
after all the years
memories on the marshes
the war to end wars
they show me the bees
tweeted from the antipodes
in a blizzard
melancholia
falling black in streets of bile
the mood music of rain
o this life thing
such an aberrant bubble
of what is thought
but an impermanence
in the absence of a scheme
snow on the mountain
striding across the hard fields
winter sunshine
mumbling incantations at the umbilicus of time
peep po
here comes the morning sun
so i am not dead
the photographs
a profusion of pollen
a blizzard of snow
sparrows
arguing over spring in winter
a tweet for them
