poems

This is just to say

I have broken
the rules
that were in
the regulations

and which
you were probably
following
at home

Forgive me
I am capricious
faux meek
yet so bold

no one else remembers these words but me

in my brain
the shame i feel
is real enough
even though it happened
twenty years or more
ago

My hair is like those feathers you sometimes see
abandoned and alone
on the barren patches of land where gardens used to be

(self portrait)

My beard is like a tangled bush
filled with cobwebs
and bees
rotting fruit
and sparrow’s nests
crisp packets, carrier bags
and old coke cans
turned pink over time
by rain
and sun
