I would quite like to be eaten once dead
My body left by the side of the road
For the crows and the gulls
To pick clean my bones

She sliced apart her lips
and I sliced open mine.
And there upon the marsh
with a bloody kiss
we were married in our way

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

The children
in the playground
attack in packs
and devour the lonely

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?
Are you weeing on my car?
He is, you know
He's pissing on my car

And then

footsteps
quickening
receding
the slamming of doors
the revving of engines

A slow returning silence

I am scared
of the written word
and the unwritten
and the unsaid
