Midnight Early

I'm shattered. Fallen asleep at the wheel twice

Here's midnight in case I miss out



TURKEY

Bye, Bye, Blackbird

Escalators

Not in the top ten

Set inside the four walls

Jimmy Brown

Blessing

I'm afraid you think you need to bow before me

Sad stories of the dearth of kings

Jeffrey Archer, Poet Laureate

Human ash is a fine fertiliser

O child this is your dream

Before the making of the toast and tea

Slag

Softly, in the dusk, a woman is singing to me

Creative Writing Class

Under My Kilt, Another Kilt

Very, very patchy

Boiled Beef and Carrots 



I am the scent of a feather falling from the sky

Jingle Fucking Bells

Drizzled with goose fat

When sheets are damp with cold sweat, no love

The corners of this evening

The boat came in at Liverpool, a Monday, raining.

I would like to be a ticket-collector

Fuck this

Wipe your hand across your mouth, laugh

Let us go then you and I

Trampled by insistent feet

Jingle Fucking Bells

Drizzled with goose fat

When sheets are damp with cold sweat, no love

The corners of this evening

The boat came in at Liverpool, a Monday, raining.

I would like to be a ticket-collector

Fuck this

Wipe your hand across your mouth, laugh

Let us go then you and I

BING!

Trampled by insistent feet

The Lottery

At four, at five, at six o'clock

A dog, a dark street. This is hope

I miss Saturday afternoons

A bird freezes, dies

And Sunday, belly full, asleep on the sofa
