Re: Some poems
She sliced apart her lips
and I sliced open mine.
And there upon the marsh

Cutting The Cord
He handed me the knife
and said to me
You're the mother
it should be you
So I took it from him
and cut the cord
and let her float out
away across the sea

By The Station In Norwich
Steel pole fence
strobing sunlight
and a tattered bag
caught on the barbs
dead between the storms

New Year's Morning, 2am
Are you weeing on my car?

the slamming of doors
the revving of engines
A slow returning silence
