a child’s laughter or the dawn chorus

Meeting (from WAR)



It is the dead of night.

The long dead look out towards

The new dead

Walking towards them


There is a soft heartbeat

As the dead embrace

Those who are long dead

Walking towards them

They cry and they kiss

As they meet again

For the first and last time

(August 2002)

It's hard to be man when there's a gun in your hand
Tears For Fears from Head Over Heels
( P)


Echoes
of afternoons and playgrounds
float off
as if hot air balloons
(DPS)
