Natural History
Green birds and leaves
hippos and extremophiles
that look like one another
In browns and greens and purples and blue
Single rainbow, looks a lot like you.
A Sparrow chases a Seagull.
Without the moon, our tilt is unstable.
Are we a trillion to one fluke
or a routine occurrence of lives
in a multiverse jam packed and
with bacteria - like humans?

The Day Me Mam Fell In The Pond
I had two meetings, one was with the rural arts group
the other the Young Associates, all talking about money
on the day me mam fell in the pond.
Lee had shown me the ways the top players go about FoosBal
while I'd been at 'Blurb' and we'd played 'Marquee Moon' on the day before
the day me mam fell in the pond.
At 'Blurb' they rolled joints as long as your forearm and coated them in honey
before rolling them again in the neat crisp green of the cannabis they smoked
the day before me mam fell in the pond.
But, it was in between the rurals and the Associates, on the way, driving,
that I'd called her and she'd answered and I'd heard some background noises
and I'd asked what was going on and she'd laughed and said:
"I've just fallen in a bloody pond"!
(sounding just like she would after falling in a pond) and
"There's a woman here who's scared of dogs - hang on"
and I hung on and waited to hear all about what happened
and she told me that she'd been walking over a log and she shouldn't have
and she lost her footing and went over and then:
"I just fell in the pond" and "Now I'm wet from head to foot"
As you would be. But she was walking home and she was fine
I called later to check and she was. But one day, she wouldn't be,
And that would mean I would drop whatever I was doing - Young Associates
Country Arts or International Conference - and drive the 130 miles
from Norfolk to Nottinghamshire, where I would see her again

Death.
Cream of Mushroom Soup
was the taste in his mouth
He knows by reason and receipt
When the news came, from an uncle
Directed to the restaurant
By a baby sitter. He'd forgotten fast
But now, the taste is like a fresh memory
Salad veg of the mind
A spring onion, a radish
Too fresh but never to be forgotten
amongst the other complications
of linguini, prawns and char siu
the memory has not yet begun
as life continues to throw barrages
of taste, pain and paperwork.
