Duty

Duty is a test word
Of 'ought' not 'want'.
Selfish or sense to say 'No'?

The beckoning

Rejection

Rejection hurts;
It gnaws and destroys.
Our task ...
Turn it round and find light.

haiku

Secret codes in Fair Isle wool,
Identity and island
through pattern.

Wedding


Tender blazing love
Trumpets the sharing of joy
Trumping darker strains.

haiku

Beached: the whale,
Like his hopes, surf dumped;
Dying through wrong turns.

Observation

The acne of pavements
Out chewed,spat out,scraped off:
Gum...
Spots of our time.

Theatre history

The shocking becomes commonplace
becomes classic,
The joy of history.

Words

Words are our currency
To connect, but they
Sip and skid and sometimes
....fail.
