BRICK DOG:

Today I saw a man who knows my name,
Talking to a woman in a supermarket,
I’ve only just remembered how I know him,
I’m glad I didn’t say ‘Hello’

(K)

WOODEN BIRD:

“I like weather” I said,
“I know” said the man behind the counter,
“And you know I don’t!”

(K)

EXIT:

The day I left I didn’t have anything,
Shame,
Words come in waves,
Rare,

Excuse me,
Don’t I know you?
Yeah,
A shape recognised across a room,
A buzz,
Caroline stoking cocktails sometimes

(K)

ENTRANCE:

The excitement of…
Anticipation of…
Receiving,
Unwrapping,
Opening,
Owning,
It wont last long,
But it will do the trick

(K)

DOOR:

Walk the dog,
Save the cat,
Sit on the back step with the night,
Counting pennies,
Craving a thrill,
A fix,
Buying something you don’t need to lift your mood,
Or,
Just for a minute,
Take you out of this place

(K)

SNAKE:

Last night.
We drove together in the rain,
I could hardly see the road,
The lights in our eyes,
The sound of your voice,
A thin white line connecting us

(K)

SUNBATHING:

Today,
I saw your wheels,
Going in the wrong direction,
Well,
It’s only my opinion,
One sided

(K)

SMILING BOAT:

All the plans have changed,
All the pictures you sent from a different place were great,
You looked happy,
How far are you prepared to go for that?

(K)

THE ROAD TO RICHARD LONG:

Now that I found the words,
Who will listen?

(K)

I TALK TO THE TREES:

Faces of strangers looking into cameras,
Why are they looking?
Who’s taking the pictures?
It’s so exciting,
What am I supposed to do when they’re gone?

(K)
