sleeping sound

like a light summer plane
high in the blue over the woods
my imagination says
inbetween worlds
heading but maybe
aimless the point is
small and moving
away



beset by landscapes

those lines

slant as rain far off


disappearing close to horizon where


light suffuses and bleeds away


a few smudges on a wall


the crisp alignment of spectral planes


the scratch


made on his bicycle down by the school


transformed to gateways and elegant windows


momentary glimpses mystic allusion


reedbeds and moorlands dark


angels interupting…

caterpillar memories



in the days of the anthology



provoking the ‘heretofore unrealised’



and ripe dreams of plums against a blue sky



from green farm yards



through granite arches



straggling orchard trees



and skylarks on a warm hill side hear



the waves and those far off along the beach



an orange-juice thirst of smoke haze



in lazy days in dreams out west



dark secrets yet to rise to hinder



all one the hero's day
