Winter day

Sun was white as though chidden by god

Smile on your mouth was the deadest thing

Lessons that love deceives

God curse sun

Q

Mother any distance

A

Requires a second pair if hands

Come to help me measure

You at the zero end

Unreeling years between us

Anchor. Kite

still pinch the last 100th of an inch

An endless sky to fly or fall

Q

Eden Rock

A

Waiting for me somewhere beyond Eden rock

The same 3 plates

Sky lightens as if lit by 3 sun’s

Beckon to me from the other bank

Crossing not as hard as you might think

I had not thought it would be like this

Q

Winter swans

A

2 days of rain and then a break

Silent and apart

Halved themselves

Like boats righting in rough water

They mate for life

Our hands… had omehow swum the distance between us

Pair of wings settling after a flight

How well did you know this?

Q

Farmers bride

A

To young maybe

she turned afraid of love and me

Smile went out

frightened fay

Lying awake

We chased her,

Turned the key upon her fast

Like a mouse

men folk keep away

I’ve hardly heard her speak

But what to me?

Alone poor maid

brown

Her eyes, her hair, her hair

How well did you know this?
