THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD:

I hear you knocking

(K)

THE AWAKENING:

I’m looking for someone who disappeared in Paris,
The night before you called me in tears,
Asking why the universe had done it to you again,
Unaware it was one of it’s greater gifts

(K)

STRAYED SHEEP:

They’re playing jazz,
In the room upstairs,
Where the ghost of Francis Bacon waits,
Tourists turn up,
Take pictures of their tea and cakes,
Expecting something amazing

(K)

THE SHIP:

Remember when we used to think,
Everything was hopeless

(K)

THE SCAPEGOAT:

I broke my wheels in the night,
But I’ve still got feet

(K)

THE HIRELING SHEPHERD::

People dressed in Black are drawings,
Misguidedly believing they are people

(K)

THE BELOVED:

Men on stilts,
Walk in,
Buzzing,
Wheel left out in the cold feel the heat

(K)

MR. ADVERTISER:

“Lock-down was OK” she said,
“We had the pool,
And we got the land,
So it was quite nice really”

(K)

MR. FAITH:

The boys from the UK,
Sailed their dreams onto the rocks,
Traded them for jobs as painters and decorators

(K)

MR. DANGEROUS:

I left a piece of my soul on the kitchen floor,
Of an LA flat in cheap town,
Homeless,
Sofa surfer,
Drinking to dream and forget

(K)
