all of gods errant children,

gathered up like fragrant leaves,

scorched and carried away by fickle breezes.

The Fruit Of Our Love

 

Yes, indeed.

 

 

 

 

Like poison lies quivering in the slow dance

certain inferior journeys, fraught with verdant possibilities, all is naught, all is grief.. give not in to errant desires for they are fleeting and cruel..

*

of little, little consequence.. repeat.

Prose Poem Five

:

For the want of trying they simply gave up. Each of them held fast to their bitter memories nurturing them as though they were the seeds of some delicious fruit being grown rather than a bilious loathing eating at their hearts like a cancer.

At the root of this odium was a hurt so huge it required an even bigger emotion to deflect the pain. It was hate that now gave fuel to their lives; it was hate that gave them purpose.

The shattered shards of their history lay in pieces on the stony ground reflecting sunlight and revealing the stains of their recrimination. It was as wanton an act as a war in the third world.

birdie bland felt cold last night, sought out miss dulcie wintle, said let's go to the alley cock fight.
'no birdie, not me, not since someones gone and eaten my sanity... it's like when you built my house on hens legs stilts which ain't no good when a water snake does swim my way..'

Prose Poem Four

Tesco sells flowers. They stand them in bunches in buckets of water tightly grouped together looking at you like children in an orphanage wanting you to select one of them, if not children then dogs with reckless faces that nod in supplication. They, the blooms are the stuff of ardour, of love. They are gifts given on mothering Sunday or to a lover, a wife or someone dear to you. These are the flowers of romance or flowers for funeral parlours, their petals soft, colour coded to match the mood: love and death, birth and decay – two ends of the same spectrum. I touch the blooms, feel their velvety softness. I rub my forefinger and thumb against them then lift my fingers to my nose. The musky scent is like the earth, pungent like the mystic force of sex. The thought of buying a bouquet crosses my mind, but no one has died. No moon or stars have eclipsed my sky.

Prose Poem Three

 

She shouts her hate at me. I shout mine back. Tit for tat, tit for tat. Two adults returned to childhood. Name calling like spitting cats. Claws sharpened by razor thin hurt, the subtleties of communication descending to primitive depths. Doors slam shut loudly in the face of memory. The fuzzy edges of love turned sour. Sentences formed in full caps.  Sentences never finished - Punctuation emphasising the fractured syntax of the relationship. At the epicentre of the conflict lies blame. It is a bruised fist of unequal proportions. North of England is flooded. Silt covers carpets and the lower floors of houses. An advert sings. A newscaster informs. Silence shunts the sound of rage into submission as TV regains sway over the empty living room.

The fridge when opened casts a sterile light. I rummage around seeking something to nibble. The chill nips my fingers as I turn over various items; the slab of cheese sliced at an inaccurate angle; the yoghurt pots that cling to each other’s lids like conjoined twins; the foil wrapped pasta from last night’s meal. I settle for a chocolate digestive from a packet buried in a cupboard. Filling the kettle I wait for it to boil. A watched pot never boils or so Nana used to say. It does though. The lounge has one light on, an up-light, and one candle burning on a stand in the corner near the patio doors. The TV screen is blank. I turn it on to cover the sound of the conversation held upstairs. I watch Lewis. TV, tea and biscuit
