“Darling! Are you in the bath? I’m going
down to the chippy. Do you want a couple

of plaice? They were very good last week. Do

A small bud, withered

But just a few drops of rain

TORRENT

Falling rain the colour of steel, cast down by the wind blown clouds.

See it beat upon your window like a madmen with a drum,

the power of nature in all her ragged glory.

as cold rain struggles to freeze white -

And in there are my mad life's beauties,

as I lean against the first of January's nights
