After the whizz-bang
crackle and spark of midnight
emptiness fills me
Sunday 2 January 2011
Having gathered up the eggs I step outside and see the chickens strutting and pecking. How do you thank them? I scatter extra corn.
Monday 3 January 2011
Waking in darkness / your odour / arouses me / I brush my lips against / your invisible skin
Tuesday 4 January 2011
Alone in a lift I thought 'what if?' as I dared to imagine dying without you.
Wednesday 5 January 2011
Candleflame / a soft yellow teardrop / swaying / in a mihrab / of shadows
Thursday 6 January 2011
Dung heap / shit and straw / still steaming / the reek of malt / filling my lungs
Friday 7 January 2011
Fire-gazing - licks of orange - blue-green flickers of burning gas - deep inside the flames a cavern - where a dragon hides.
Saturday 8 January 2011
Spontaneously / we dance / the four of us / as Sting sings / Shape of my heart
Sunday 9 January 2011
An amber lamp / glowing / in the coal-black night / so far away / a stranger's place
Monday 10 January 2011
Standing - in pouring rain - echoes of Creation - boom silently - in my tears
Tuesday 11 January 2011
Holding him close / I catch / my foreverness / brimming / inside his cloudless eyes
Wednesday 12 January 2011
Staring - into a violet - cathedral of quartz - intoxicated - by its lustre
Thursday 13 January 2011
Hush (raindrops: splish splosh). Brook purls cantabile over smooth stones (churgle, babble, blooop). My soul squelches like soft moss.
Friday 14 January 2011
Street light / flickers / in amber spasms / i wonder / is it going to die?
Saturday 15 January 2011
In the backwash / of cyber-conversations /a sunbow / dancing / in spindrift
Sunday 16 January 2011
Windows lashed by storms - my galleon dips, rises - in the ocean's swell
Monday 17 January 2011
I gaze up at the firmament / to all the stars and galaxies / I cannot see / and ask myself / why am I writing this?
Tuesday 18 January 2011
Up in the sky / ashes and pearls / smoking and cinerous / stifling / a lemon-drop sun
Wednesday 19 January 2011
A tree: a trilogy
one) shingles of bark / corky fibres / blue-grey / gilded with silver
two) sapwood / creamy and smooth / ivory / tinged with amber
three) huge gnarl / like a troll's eye / staring at me /pitifully
Thursday 20 January 2011
Oh irony of fox-brown feathers/ floppy bonnet/ bright as bacon/ ancient amber eyes/ lay me a speckled egg http://twitpic.com/3s1x0y
Friday 21 January 2011
Coy moon/ streaked with gunsmoke/ clouds tinged/ with old gold/ in a navy sky
Saturday 22 January 2011
Shavings / beneath a lathe / pine-scented curls / of heartwood / aesthetic
Sunday 23 January 2011
Sighs of contentment - listening to flowing stream - full bladder empties
Monday 24 January 2011
Wind turbines/ rising like shock troops/ over the wold/ spinning/symbols of peace
Tuesday 25 January 2011
Vaulted ~ altar of trees ~ blackbird sings ~ in the silence ~ of a rainstop
Wednesday 26 January 2011
Your breath ~ an opaline mist ~ on my ordinary day
Thursday 27 January 2011
Blue police domes ~ flash silently ~ a woman sits ~ by the roadside ~ weeping
Friday 28 January 2011
Goldfinch sings ~ in Rowan tree ~ its home ~ a moss cup ~ hidden in the hedgerow
Saturday 29 January 2011
Stone walls ~ brooding ~ splitting green ~ ancient thresholds ~ keepers of space
Sunday 30 January 2011
Sheep plucks grass/ from wintered fields/ inside her body/ heartbeats of Spring/ ticking softly
Monday 31 January 2011
Dip your hand in the water ~ pull out your golden moment
