(the18th of November, 2015, Stroud)
A willow shimmies
aerial jellyfish
autumn froth
I frame a cup of black coffee
mushrooms on toast
filling a stomach
where I can't fill a heart
in some town called Nailsworth
and the wheels on your bus
go round and round
faraway drenched merry-go-round
Alarm and Delight
(by Gub, the 18th of November, 2015, Belfast)
Shards of autumn light
chase
the dark stalks of winter
back into their trunks
- the road mirrors the journey,
here and there patches of untried memory
mark the season's changes
with mixed volumes
of alarm
and delight ....
