its cloak lays heavy
awake with longing for you
face of clock mocks me

on the island
caught against a wall
colour diluted by headlights
fox trotting through town

n.b. Foxes in Portsmouth scavenge by night, gulls by day.

strange shapes form at dusk
fears and imaginings clash
night sharpens its claws

Dream #15
spangled moonless night
retreats from black to blue
I spin towards dawn grateful
sleep’s re-hash of ancient noire
will be rubbed out
by exposure to the Sun

Dream #14
the Moon lies
in some galactic gutter
off his face on space junk
leaving all the lights on
so many colours, constellations confused
by brilliance of the luminous clutter
and you here, warm, safe, sound asleep
to the universal song and dance
of the stars going loopy
given their chance

Dream #6
so silent this blue turns black
nothing moves on Earth
a meteor streak
a faint schwoosh far off
sprinkled stardust
dissolves into tapestry of night

night oils the river
dark thoughts patrol between banks
let us not go there

Night Words After The Diner
The whisky went straight to my legs
my eyes, my arms, my tongue
I was experiencing things differently
Felt Earth spinning off its axis
It became a place I did not know
Did I need more drinking practice?

n.b. Night photo was taken to capture the empty street scene, but it came out weird, with evidence of existence of the Yeti…alive and well in East Anglia. It is certainly cold enough in Norfolk for Yeti.
Pubs now open in England, outside drinking only. Short rhyme prompted by photo. No pubs were visited during the making of this moving picture.

On Earth
Night’s shadow climbs hill
fills in hollows, outlines trees.
Sun ignites heaven.
