gleam to gleam two cars in motionless pas de deux through wield on wield of two polishing cloths one red one blue as a pair of owners gesture and flourish in open of boot and bonnet caress on the kerbside stage of a never to be repeated saturday morning performance viewed from the box of a room on the second floor of a suburban maisonette . Encore encore yes each to his own

White noise
in the quietude
of winter night
there’s no room
between the clock
the heating vents
breathing
and all this
with everything else
turning over and over
in the head
the heart left
standing at the curb
with the wishbone

there’s no room
between the clock
the heating vents
breathing
and all this
with everything else
turning over and over
in the head
the heart left
standing at the curb
with the wishbone

when you have
found it
that I can
borrow
for as long
as it makes sense
for both
of us
or either
or neither and then
only then it will fit
the bill to win
an access to
our new club
of squared
pegs

Robert, I, too,
have plucked a beauty
from the branch
have plucked a beauty
from the branch
before first frost
when elves still dance,
and I have touched
10,000 more,
and so, I guess,
the need for grace

He cast a spell on me.
He always was a charmer,
Sanguine, dashing, and debonair.
He always was a charmer,
Sanguine, dashing, and debonair.
With Fifi, Christine, and Bitsy Bits,
He played the game:
Paddywhack, bunny kick, and nip . . .
My little piece of
black velvet magic
like Puss in Boots
foot upon ogre
