HAIKU
abandoned churchyard –
cairns of broken headstones
shaded by alder leaves
cairns of broken headstones
shaded by alder leaves
clinging to my wing mirror,
the spider
and her now mobile home
the spider
and her now mobile home
Morriston Cross – the parting of ways
where I should have kissed her
where I should have kissed her
urban autumn –
coloured leaves caught
in take-away cartons
coloured leaves caught
in take-away cartons
sharing a grave;
two strangers
(her husbands)
waiting for her
two strangers
(her husbands)
waiting for her
smothered in cream,
she does not see the plum I gave her
was bruised
she does not see the plum I gave her
was bruised
that lone ship on the horizon,
arriving or leaving?
arriving or leaving?
