light gentle sweet
you touched my spine
your face no picture
slow ɡradʒʊəl inevitable
you killed me
one shot to the chest
now
careful
healing

.plastic whales.
last time i wrote of comics
that day we noticed plastic whales
while shopping. my daughter smiled
they were as i said. we gathered goods
wrapped mainly in plastic
the invention must have seemed a good idea at the time
news came a whale was dying off norway
with sympathy they shot it
ending quickly
the suffering
its stomach lined with
thirty bags of plastic
you see
oh the irony
.whales.
the title got me thinking
we had comics on tuesdays and thursdays
from the middle shop up the hill
sometimes there was a whale
in the story with a picture
round grey with a fountain in it’s head
it’s tail akimbo later
i learned that they don’t look like that
really .
he said
real stars do not have points .
i guess i shall never see a whale
though some bones are over the door
in mallwyd church porch
up the road
mnemonic
.memoire.
.viable happens.
some people are more eager to please
more pliable
than others
some keys gets stuck
then the words make
no sense
some days things go awry
we make the best of it
start again with planning
and the handy man. mud
gets muddier as the rain
falls
it feels like constantly
then we forget why we are here
and settled
