The Visitor

What I want to say
mildews under the stairs.
What I do clicks over
the threshold with celery stems,
small umbrellas on sausage sticks.
I open my mouth. A canned drink falls.




At Home

in an Anglo-Welsh anthology;
the sheltered accomodation
of approved literature – I
didn’t have a head for yawns
until I learned to pinch myself.
 
 
Bookmark

Don’t lose your place.
Tears bookmark holidays.
I have two left arms. It isn’t
always strength a body needs;
weak thoughts feel funny.
