Sun and Moon 8
draped across night’s blackboard
stars and constellations all erased
my black angel bruised by the dark
the world’s feathered wonder reduced to shadow and ash
what dreams are these?
feathers against night’s window
an angel of darkness descending a steep stairway
tumbling through the night
who’s dreams are these?

I like them very much. Sad in many ways. I always think of Hieronymus Bosch when I read this.

Thanks, Polly. I watched Wales / Ireland on Friday and England / Scotland on Saturday. Some great rugby. I thought Scotland would stay close to England. Was I ever wrong on that.

They played like a good Welsh backline of old … I can’t think of a better compliment than that.

Roger, not sure if you would be diverted by a satirical take on current Swansea news but if you are familiar with the South Wales Evening Post and the gentrification of Mumbles/Gower, this site – with something of an insider’s take on both I suspect – has been making me laugh lately https://dailyswansea.wordpress.com/
Hope all fab with you.

I signed up to follow. I still find it hard to say “Swansea City”! … “And still I live in hopes to see, Swansea Town once more.”

It was a great game: very tense. 3 tries to 0 tells the story, though.

I’m hooked on the first two lines. There is so much to think about here, Roger.

Some of my favorite lines. Here’s a link to my UNB web age. Poem 4 is the only one with a voice reading.

I should add that Clare and I designed these pages between 1996-1999 when I was doing my Certificate in Multi-Media Studies. They are so old now, so outdated!

I loved listening. I’m going to go back and listen to more of them.

I should make an effort to re-record some of my poems. There were many voice recordings and videos on my other webpage, but it was hacked and corrupted.

I remember you telling me that. I loved the audio for this, though. I wish there were more…
