Poems


Song

The ripening fruit hangs from the tree,


Ways to go

The spider offers to the fly


The ordinary way

It started well: she held her wrists for tying


The house illumined by the sun,

The house illumined by the sun, the rainbow on the horizon,


What I know

1   I know we will not live long enough


Out of the Labyrinth

Stones.   1   I cannot see my misshape in others’ eyes


“Only fine claret and old roses”

“Only fine claret and old roses” he wandered, secateurs in hand, from bush


A brief memorial

When all that’s left of me is ash and words


Ministry of the interior

.    The Task   What would you do


Maxims of Governance

Ministry of the interior     Why does this matter?


Hylas and the nymphs

After the painting by J.W.Waterhouse


Men like birds

The migrant butcher bird or shrike


The Mayfly

The mayfly dancing on the stream
