Not a Poem: 30th August 2013. We’d always got by, somehow. But now there was nothing:. A wallet of air;. My card spat out. At my foolish, balloon face;. And the shopping trapped. In the trolley’s cage. At the foodbank store, the winding metal door clanks back;. A harvest, sealed under pressure, jostles on the shelves,. Enter your emai...

Not a Poem: 30th August 2013. It seemed so simple, planned over a pint:. Buy a black-market swarm of glass eels. To raise in a tank in his shed. As he sprinkles crushed crayfish, sees. Ugly eel underbites vie at the surface,. He thinks of his sleek, fat profit. He watches them grow to young elvers,. Insinuating ways. Their humour.

Not a Poem: 30th August 2013. Digging since dawn, bent slant. Against the whistling wind, crushing. With sweet scent the water mint under my boots,. Face whipped by willow; unsteady,. I cling to the iron shove-handlers, feeling like a pennant. Run up a flagpole; hood rippling with gusts. Raise mud-plated feet amongst the winter wheat.

Not a Poem: 30th August 2013. In the plush darkness. There is no-one to see. The flowering-forth of planets. In bristling blue scabious. And purple lobelia;. The rings beginning to hum. Round a restless sphere. Earth, leafed like a cabbage,. Held in place by winking pins,. Froths with euphorbia, a wave of still surf;. Ten Years Time &...

The sisters are earth-combers, fine-fingered. Through them, creation is unpicked. Around them, the world is re-ordered:. On a pull of the thread, rucked and buckled,.

Cumberbatch and his offense offence | changeling times
https://challengingchangeling.wordpress.com/2015/01/27/cumberbatch-and-his-offense-offence
Trials and tribulations of eclectic chicken. Cumberbatch and his offense offence January 27, 2015. 8212; eclectic chicken @ 10:49 am. Poor old Benny Cumberbatch…him and his big old posh, ex slave owning gob. Actually I feel for the bloke. Trying to do his best for British actors of colour and he gets the metaphorical shit kicked out of him by the terminally offended. Boo fucking hoo…he used and (and I quote) an “outdated term”. To describe people of a particular ethnicity. That is just not good enough.

Not a Poem: 30th August 2013. I honour the rules. It hasn’t been fear. That’s kept me behind this camouflaged line;. Fêted, venerated, for years. With its dull copper glow it has given no sign. That it bounded my actions, so obviously right;. Now it runs like a trip wire, glinting and fine. One step now will trigger the fight;. Writin...
