Merry-Go-Round and Alarm and Delight

Merry-Go-Round
(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 ....
