last week a tripper Life of the party, he’s long long ago Look that fellow how he staring Lord of our diversity, Love gave her eyes: Lying in the dark together Me, crying; just outside the tomb. Me one, way out in the crowd, Mine history My ancestors My father smoked Negotiating strangers No strangers here Nostalgic devils ‘playing for fun’ Not a cloud in sight: Not long ago november sunlight O Father – if it be thy will – O Jesus, you were right: Ol’ plantation wither, on a grey day One evening in another town One man who came to dinner out of that pain Out of the shadow an awkward figure Peel-head john-crow circling please to Questions about meaning Reaching out resentfully awake 255 22 95 84 185 147 83 62 142 44 170 175 233 6 93 180 77 179 52 124 131 202 118 216 36 174 54 218 217 65 41 210

He loved her madly,

he planted plenty seed he seemed a proper granny

He seemed forever full of fun –

he sits there

He’s off into the night her laughter quivers

Her partner is a skeleton.

Hey! Boy! If you are God

His conversation flattered; she said yes

His early work was radiant

His mother told him of the king’s

Hoarfrost glimmering beyond

How carefully they walk i am sinking

I am the man that build his house on shit

I dreamt

I dreamt us strolling, arm in loving arm,

I fished; but he was deep.

i press your eyes

I slam the door. ‘Dear, are you positive i sleep & wake i used to burn my poems

‘I’m strange,’

I’m in a meeting

I’ve seen it often:

In 19-something X was born

In a dusty old crumbling building just fit for rats

In church triumphant

In love, and reverently inclined,

In spite of love in the agonising

In the bookshop in this last night
