The fridge
We had 4 figs
In the fridge
For four weeks
And now they are
In the bloodyfucking bin
‘What Where Why’
I am a broken man waiting to be healed
My body, my mind … fucked.
All of this, all of this I screamed.
Every day.
What is the point of looking?
No need to be looking.
I will not, no never, find by looking.
Nope, don’t go looking.
It will hurt – this here looking.
You tell me why.
Why the young are scared.
I will tell you why.
We have destroyed their forever hope.
It’s my fault … I failed.
This is not about Pain
This is a story
This is not about pain
This is a story
This is not 2 a.m.
This is a story
This is not 2 p.m.
This is a story
This is a wake up … no pain
This is a story
This is a wake up … pain
This is a story
This is crying quietly
This is a story
This is shouting loudly
This is a story
This is walking home
This is a story
Once upon a time there were 3 bears …
Where is my love
She sleeps
I listen
I smell her beauty
I touch her
I love.
Lights out
Na night… go to sleep
I need the light
to help me weep
Kiss goodnight
Moon stuff
My little girl knows she was
blessed by the moon.
My little boy knows he was
blessed by the stars.
Now then – who blessed you?
Sky
You are my friend my enemy
my light my night my colour my
lover my inspiration my jubilation
my blue my pink my yellow my
purple my orange my turquoise my
grey my beauty my mystery
my warmth my cold my picture
my day my total my nothing my
freedom my claustrophobia my
sunshine … it’s just the sky.
The fridge – part II
Midnight into the a.m.
I need the toilet
2 a.m. maybe 3 a.m.
My night light
3 a.m. onwards
No no no, not bloody Sprite
The fridge – part III
New potatoes
Cooked – cold – congealed in butter.
How good they taste in the night.
Does it matter if I have
reflux until daylight!
Carer wife lover
The most beautiful
The most loving
The most important
The most good
The most caring
The most special
The most kind
The most giving
The most amazing
The most generous
The most wonderful
The most gorgeous
The most.
