poems



heart ripped

look left

She is there

lonely rebel

unclassified

misunderstood

green and uncategorised

yet strong

ripping hearts

then to rest





creep your yearning heart like ivy to mine

pray like a chirping bird. 

cut my hair until there is only a nail file’s worth of fuzz to rub your palms across

chirp again.

seagull seen praying 

news flash I prey; 

the little bug has gone, the smell of sewage is strong

a modern machine backs up with incessant squeaks .


le soleil entisse

les ombres forts

sous le tilleul mourant

je l’expire.


Pendant sa mort

de l’arbre, dis-je

je méditais

sur mon lâcher-prise

là, il fait le tutoiement

pour apprivoiser

la respiration.
