waiting, two babies beaming crossed off days
mother's kiss another fling
the stuffed bear is air soaring
to the sound of stereo mawing

Old welsh form. Has a distinct harmony when written in Welsh

bungie cord win lose win against the wind
elastic fibres as one a plastic fasci resisting

this is good and Jehovah gave us the rubber

well perhaps a scientist synthesised it but

belief is a fact
not
facts support belief

one anything
only has strength
fighting against
the wind

hole where the spade was
and a broken hinge
where the gardener is

flower bulbs swollen wait
from a vanquished spring
celebrate
in snow
in blue
David in the beds

after all Saints

using tools to tackle the
wind that damgaged
the door

lays siege
to appetites

so what
the inkwell will dry
if used or unused

so what
unused stamps have
two costs

so what
we both missed
that train

just write me

white lower case text on black background 

he's counting steps like
a fugitive 
a spy 

both some guy in a novel about 
an agent code name Pan
who is an MI6 recruit 
a Mossad zygote 

whispering ghost 
anathema of peace 

it's a plan to desecrate holy sand

now it's a body count with dollar count
bit the shekel

he's spitting teeth

in my lady's parlour
behind the dark escutcheon

in warm depths

hard knave set

to joust
a sword hangs under

to his steed Sir Lancelot
forking and c_untry
this chalice must
be rammed
wid
