453

 Our cold land

swept free of all words

Twenty geese


you forget

what you once held right

Nothing stays


lost our salt

Abandoned our light

no shepherd

Sunday, 19 December 2021

452. The end of the world is

removing

Children from safety

Gagged and jagged


Everyone

Blind heartless and mute

Sleep walking


Where we are

Our long trek from caves

To machines


All else now

Mere postscript pick your

Hell of choice


Brave New World

Nineteen eighty four

We. (Fallen)

451

 Our geese fly

Unseen inside clouds

Of winter

Stillness broke for wings

Song swaying days close (end)

448. Balmalcolm wood

 Excitement

Across the grey sky

Countless geese

Forming resistance

Against winter gloom

443 Dream

 I dream of peace

Maybe it is death

To be free


I will mask

I will jab I will

Renounce me


Or I will

Run hide suicide

To end you


You speak lies

Of the machine count

And control


Machines are

Only this yet you

Join them


So I dream

an end of blood flow

and beating



442

 This my moon

Covers the world yet

goes away

Saturday, 20 November 2021

441

 Break your mind

To break your skin to

Break your heart

Friday, 19 November 2021

440. Stilled

 Stilled on seas

of stupidity

Talk like gulls


grey sky same

Footsteps as before

no place yours


a dark cloud

is chained to our hearts

we are lost

438 Hopeless

 A plain track

Ends in a barn

Filled with shadows and eyes

bright sunlight stops sight in or out

cow prison

Sunday, 31 October 2021

437 Farmers

 Stole land

To imprison

Both plants and animals

Without seeing our own prison

Exile

436 Walk

 Quiet

The grey sky full

Of held rain we climb up

To trees horizons our own world

Smiling

435 Rainfall

 Water

Moving the world

nothing stays in focus

just memories of the colours

Bone dry

434 Showers

 Rainfall

brings sea to land

Whale clouds hold earth at bay

for what could not stop but yet does

Sunshine

433

 In mist 

Humans circle

They cannot remember

The last time or anticipate

The next

432 Sheds

 The blue boats

became becalmed shapes

Of green sea

431 Inside

 Two worlds now

Make believe save lives

and secret

430 The Good People

 Bit by bit

They  make us naked

Mere shadows


Yesterday's

Confined within fog

Just their voices


Good people

Keep  your cheer stand tall

hold the light

Saturday, 2 October 2021

429 vandals

 Nest broken

By repeated stick blows

Next the tree

428 brand

 Red scarf sheep

In field jails foretell

Their slaughter

427 uphill

 Now all gains

Are against the tide

Barely held

426 witch hunt

 Injection

Rejection equals

Internment


Anti Vax

Trains heading for camps

Mas(k) cheering


Scream removed

Talking in circles

Our darkness

425 soul

 Round this park

Grooves of my aging

Trail behind


Cow behind 

The herd halfway down

Distant hill


Two brighter

A mutual witness

For each soul

424 the darker

 Your ashes

Are your clothes and words

Even bones


tides will come

Without human need

Or design


follow the dark

never the lighter

deeper truth

423 winter on the farm

 Look away

To beyond the wire

Our lost world


The dark sheds

of winter waiting

Marched cattle


we have fields

invisible fences

Bluetooth tags

422 sovereign

 One more time

clouds pulled across sky

A last day


just stories

of worlds here then gone

nothing sticks


in the night

A God of darkness

is sovereign

421 West Sands

 The sea left

Only narrow sands

For footprints


A bright dream

Of sea and sand shines

Each footstep


Our river

Lives running to graves

Salty deep 

420 black magic

 Enchantment

No good can come of

Extinction


The other

The one you poison

By design


They set fire

But the wind will turn

then they burn

Sunday, 1 August 2021

419 the river

 Time loosens

Our identity

Truth escapes


Virus counts

Virus tells the time

Clever foe


Fossil faces

As if enchanted

Still gazing

418 adrift

 Endless plague

Emperors parade

No exit


All words used

We never once heard

Our dead deaf


made illness

Then obedience

A veiled world

Friday, 2 July 2021

417. Dismantling

 Under siege

No forwards or backwards

Nailed horror


All the talk

Of the dark closes

Future's doors


Our word web

Our underwater

Our heart stop

416. Horror

 Side by side

Cows eating uphill

Til night fall


Silence fills

Spaces that we shared

In time fled


Food chain world

We are all breakfast

Then just shit

415. Birds

 One hour wall

Closer then apart

Two pigeons


One leg bird

Upon a gravestone

Orange beaked


Skylark grass

Everything else goes

Only song

414. Entranced

 Out of fog

To become horror

mere statues


we are stone

our hearts are inert

Smiles hidden


now dust rules

life by cold decree

safe half life

413. Bones

 Beneath you

Beneath me rests truth

our bone core


in the dark

our only outline

Bone by bone


our bones join

better than our hopes

then they part

Wednesday, 2 June 2021

412 floating

 cut adrift

Ours the horizon

Quiet ends


Come over

With fears like the rain

To the bone


Watch water

Always finds a way

To reach home

411 time

 This moment

Contains destruction

And the next


Beneath stars

And all their darkness

Dull waiting


A sunrise

Your numbered days wilt

A sunset

410 banality of evil

 what is  this

needle evil for?

everyone?


can this pass

And not down any

who struggle?


monkey words

Truther bananas

falling sky!

409 Zombies

 here comes fear

the people of fear

love their fear


their stupid

the depth of oceans

seabed brains


just get fucked

with your endless fear

virus cunts

408

 discord

in our dulled words

we want more than we give

not the cliff edge the abyss we 

call home

407 we small things

 

waiting when

now is the living

shadow thing


afterwards

our footprints in sand

wait for sea


become small

enough to hide away

be  embers

406. heartbeats

 

our bird died

chilled by frosty nights

in nest still


sleep pulls me

hushes cleverness

ends it all


sky I see

a dark earth I fly

escaping


405 the naked emperor in our midst


words fallen

people now plastic

distancing


hollow me

everything taken

to protect


overwhelmed

spoken to as vile

coffin talk

Thursday, 1 April 2021

404

 a sand and a sea

eight legs taking shared delight

larks sing in salt air

403

 they won't stop coming

they won't let you go your blood

now mixed with their blood

402

 a swirl of atoms

makes a man and makes his world

for moments only

Monday, 1 March 2021

401

 will you stop building

watchtowers for your people

and return their dreams?

400

 dawn the seed of life

a fullness of light holds us

then nights prising  grip

399 Obey

 simple tyranny

we remind you that you die

say we can save you

398 sleep

 it comes and it goes

the sense of safety

much like lightening


how to fall asleep

without nest or den, nothing

but unbelonging 

397

 children of earth or

children of god or children

thrown, forgotten

396

 a siege of rain holds

a  land blurred and distorted

all our colours drown

Monday, 1 February 2021

395

 unless we perform

our heart and soul we become

the people of stone


show me your colours

your heart and soul your reason

who you stand beside

394

 doves together drip

window ledge cat empty house

a sky fallen grey 

393

 for something unseen

police in masks herding you

your freedoms drifting

392

 here wolves at our backs

wolves we fed with our own hearts

how many more years?

Friday, 1 January 2021

391

 around us prisons

of our minds forsaken for

our wish not to die

390 welfare

 my boyfriends petrol

all over my house, clothes and bed

this methadone love

389

 the noise of your night

pitches us into dark seas 

looking for landfall
