Fragments and thoughts July 30
Aug 3rd, 2009 | By admin | Category: Fragments and ThoughtsTiles
A disused shop
paint peels off of tiles
that have been painted over
Newspapers cover the windows
yesterdays news covering
up the history of failure
Pastries
beguiling pastries
glossy shells
covering twisted dough
shining fruits
in red and yellow
seem to glow
with the innocence of sunshine
Kinsgwood
Looking inside a worn out Kingswood wagon
falling apart at the wheel arches
trim dripping down
Inside the ash tray overflows with cigarette butts
and then an introduced ashtray
in marble glass also overflows
no concept of emptying here
no responsibility
Skywriter
Kill Jum…… something
the plane looping in the sky
streams of cloudy crystals
make letters
spelling out some message
the writer needs to do a Double U
but he flies down a hundred feet
too low
it seems to separate out
what does it look like up there?
Child’s party
aqua yellow and purple cups
cordial on the floor
fairy bread
and chocolate on the floor
Newhaven squadron
Yachts lined up
like fat beached dolphins
with white underbellys
Wind whistles through the stays
walking the breakwater
evening gulls are disturbed
from aerodynamic berths
they hang easy in the blustery gusts
body surfing on the wind
disappearing from view
laughing on the wind
as the sun crouches down and blinks
the bitter cold starts to cut through clothing
