Block Stanzas (from Wave Hub, 2014)

​

I'm knocking down a Cornish Hedge: rank surgery on a brain
with sledgehammer, jack; secateurs cutting veins in ivy –
wedges of scab, rab, lichen, furze over cracked fingernails.

​

I'm moving my wall to new land twenty feet on. No need for
numbered stones (big molars left at base, the rest now gone).
Phil's digger grates, clangs mantis through mist. A happy dentist.

​

I find pennies stamped in lime, centipedes, a phial, colonies of
snails (no rings, gold bands). Each hour there's rain to wash over
mud on the hands. Each shower a nuisance, curse and denial:
                            I wrack old bones on new land.

​

For these last late frosts have rattled my box of eggs, tested
my limitations. Issues of possession- this new triangle of meadow,
correcting the boundary by degrees. The hard work satisfies more
than myself, stakes a shift in growth, assembled order, histories.

​

​

Aphrodite and the Acid Coast

 

        Limestone slews sheer to blue Mediterranean, white
                     As slashed teeth from a scull.

​

        Was Proteus ill? Our boat rattered into life, churning cobalt, the
        Promise of cream in a cowrie. After minutes, in a line piercing
        The horizon, we stopped.

​

        No child was born. In quiet we heard the thin wailing of sea birds.
        Wincing, we stared in dull wonder, knew the long issues of starting again.
