HIDING IN THE TREES:

Mountains,
Sunlit heads erect

(K)

GOOD ORDERLY DIRECTION:

Clouds cast shadows on the sea behind us,
No stars allowed

(K)

FEATHER PILLOW:

Wear a Pink hat,
Leave the car behind,
And walk

(K)

BEDHEAD:

Keep your mouth shut,
Don’t let the words in your head come out

(K)

SCRATCHES LOVE:

Killing time in camouflage and stripes,
Clearing tables with a pearl in the ear

(K)

HEART IN A BOX:

The room is a drawing,
With stick people moving around in it,
Telling each other how they sleep,
Talking about nothing and everything,
Showing each other pictures on their tiny devices

(K)

AFTER THE FLOOD:

The taxi driver turned the radio up when the news came on,
There were five items on the news,
Three killings,
A closure of a factory with the loss of a lot’ve jobs,
And sport,
Then a sixth item,
Slightly humorous,
But sneering at another countries political leader,
The place we just flew from seemed much happier,
That’s the luxury of being a tourist
