Bar Steward Town 1 (for Debbie)
Bar Steward Town 1 (for Debbie)
What they did to Debbie was beyond compare
Anywhere else except in this damn town
A real lady came from afar to heal the sick
Persons unknown took her happiness
Did their despicable act and slew her life
They respected her religion by crossing her
But not her body by using two big knives

Not White To Weft (early poem for public art sculpture in Oldham)
Lay flat and spun together you’ve always run a town,
each part is party to the next and grown
separately we conflict and seethe from
it and sneer from it, no one is happy in slavery
wouldn’t talking be a step, food too and
work unites us, it’s not them making us toil
we all carry the can and mustn’t
need to chase our own tale to cause blame

North Town

My stress and anxiety continues.
It’s living in this crap dying town,
that I’m sure of.
I’d rather be in West Berlin writing poetry,

Nowhere is like Manchester.
Catch a gig or shag a bir...

Venturing through farmer’s fields, over dry stone walls and under barbed wire fences. ...

DESTINY CALLS
Rising higher and higher the warplane climbs

ready for instant launch when an enemy
is spotted across the distant sky.
An inhuman machine with the looks of a goddess
