Unfriend
I’m staring out of the coffee shop window
In a strange land
A pang in my stomach
Why didn’t I take anyone with me
No one to meet
From when I was 18
Right through to my 30’s and beyond
Until 40’s 50’s I had a new one
But he withered and died
Why didn’t I take them with me
I feel a pang inside
But each carried me
To where I am now…

I travel around in the void
Wondering round like a lost boy
And although I am able
Fully trained yet maimed and unstable
A ghostly belonging
Of betrayal ...

Breathing Liquor
Liquor, such a licentious name,
I hear it whispered on TV,
my hair stands on end.
I move the bottles out of sight,
to negate their seductiveness.
They cry to be held or treasured.
The weakness of wine glasses,
resonating when they are washed.
They are true to their purpose at least.
I pour a scant amount,
measuring with molecular like precision.
I swig it back with...

Aloneness
Have you ever felt the icecold
gales of aloneness?
I do not mean
lone lee ness
which is something altogether
different –
simperingly subjective
and even desirable
(artistically considered).
I do not mean
dejected
forsaken, forlorn,
deserted or desolate,
neglected or torn;
for those words are shallow
compared to "alone".
I mean aloneness –
some subterra...
