A love in verse

A Fearsome Year

Come train through the forests of rain

Bring my girl to my aching arms

Into the night against the grain

Of peace I register my qualms

Don’t let her be soaked! This brutal weather

Appalls, but soon we’ll be together


The climate of our days sometimes

Not good, we’ve seen a fearsome year

Uprooted, no work, unwell, what crimes

We wondered had we committed here?

But I see her blue eyes gleam through the night

And the rain, and things are pretty alright!

Sense Data

About the centre of the small loo window 

Leaves of every ivy-colour frame

The bold obtrusion of an autumn sun...

Lovers

You’re out there in the peopled world

Bobbing heads crowd your fair face

You sit in tunnels and in buses...
