Poem

Sodom and Gomorra
Let the DJ play
`Cos I’m only gone tomorrow and here today

--from the song ‘V. Thirteen,’ by Big Audio Dynamite

The Light Rippling


away at the end of this
feral day,
my speech desecrates its strings
of dusk as it plays magenta,
bridged to hard fuchsia
and orchestrates the last sparkle
that flicks
in your eyes; rises
with the call of a gull
left alone for one last sweep
of the beach; tumbles
along the bumpy road
of your tongue. Dead ends
measured allegro for my heart
in silence.
