    the old tree

    gravestone breaks

    Haiku 1 year Anniversary book will be sent today. Yeah, it's gone, outa here, goodbye goodbye goodbye, out of site, out of mind. If any members of the band or the Ten Club staff happen to see this post I just want them to know:

    if you hold the book at arm's length it's easier to read. I don't know what it is about my handwriting, but it's got this straight something or another that's better at arms length. Just so you know :)

    Thanks to all that granted me permission to include your haiku! Yeah us!

    A new path
    human laid gravestones
    guard your honour

    We have a new shopping mall in Norwich, a big one, and one of the main access routes to it, is cut through an old graveyard. The new path is formed with and the banked earth retained by displaced gravestones. They must have had to deconsecrate the land. I do quite like the path though.

    water spouts river
    runs and freezes on the street
    paralyzed city
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    shaking the deep freeze
    he emerges from the murk
    wriggling to freedom

    the front door closes
    and I look out the window
    to see pines covered in fog
    your moment cooled




    I saw a blanket
    on a newspaper page
    filled, bloodied, gurnied
    had you known

    rise and sink
