“Inspection No 1

In the underdown
Of my mind,
Find crack of secrets
Cellar damp,
And in their naked
Fact Unequal
To the moulded fur
Of expectation
In which they simmer.
This summer I will
Usher them out in pairs
To do a writing dance
Of drying death
Then toss amongst
My memories to
Find some curling more.”

De-soul me
Here in my
Desolation
Take away

Away in
Your green
Locked box.”

“Now I understand the silence,
Now that he told me
That you had passed by,
He told me it was four months
That you had clamoured about me,
It’s sad that I didn’t realise
That it was you.

He said that in the fourth month,
I had confided that you had clamoured
For my understanding, that you had
Only wanted to pluck out my entrails
And examine them, that you wanted my life,
He says you went away bearing my child.

Now I understand this silence,
It would be wrong to say how sorry I am
That I could not give you myself,
It would be wrong to say sorry that I
Could not give you the kind of life you need.”

For I am wrought
Upon your crossed arms
Stretched tight
Like the gutted deer.
Chaliced
In your double-lip
I no longer hear
the sounds.”

“I call him “Old Bold-Stones”

Within a ribbed structure built not unlike a cage
Yet, not having the same quality of confinement,
The open box of the day was lying
Lid unhinged to a swing of
mourning whales
all dressed in widowhoods.
Sunset's blood threw a spotted sop –
That kaleidoscope in the spout
Of the great sperm-son's vent.

Come, crash me thunderdown.
Come, flash me whipplecrack.

Wave winged
Sweat wet.
Frond weed.
Pondweed.
And as thunderdown of policemen
Shouting the empty place neath
The arches of the once-red now
Brown, grey sandstone bridge,
Trout with a suspicion of feet
lurking quiet in unseen spaces
between frond weed and bold stones.”
― Gordon Roddick
