(my shortest ever poem)
Pillowed Boat Fish
Just siiiink into the bed
Let sleep swallow us whole
Sweet viscose love, a thickness

No it’s us
It’s the Tories, it’s the Tories
No it’s us
It’s the Terrorist, it’s the Corporations
No, it’s just us
It’s the Anarchists
Nope you’re far from there
Let’s happily survey this whinging Western panarama
Not batten down our eyelids to this lashing Eastern...

Word Down
Fingers tapping on phones through youthful bones
Dead voices hang bunting
The buzzing bus continues unaware
That the war on speech is won
and words are writing wreaths for our final mutterings
How fast those fingers move
What skills have evolved
In the void between the vocal and the breathless text
Hang your bunting from the stars my words
Throw your fireworks into my heart
But voices
