Three Poems

ALMANAC 49

Foyer to-do.
Retailing entices.
Galleries of bona fide art preoccupy.
Sculpture is moseyed around.
Constable’s blemish
Eyesores your leaving.


ALMANAC 50

Ripples at sluice gate.
Moments course residue.
Barges loiter in sparkles.
Crack – promontory jitters.
Gashed-black scalp refluxes
Distressing you to a whimper.


ALMANAC 51

October leaves jostle in sedge.
Unleashed greyhound bolts.
Kittiwakes plunge aloof.
Morose sea fidgets.
The nerveless cliff
Will not ground your load.
