November 2022 Collage Poem: The New Face
Lifeless monarch dances with Elvis and the Tall Man
Eternal caretaker roams the trysting fields, wraps his rictus

Waiting for the announcement of a significant death
The clown shakes off his last cigarette

November 2020 Collage Poem: Carrying Our Dreams
The hungry boy stares at herself like a clock
Mum hungers, drinking thistles in water
