No Taller Than A Tulip

no taller than a tulip

knee deep austere

loyalty fly\'s it\'s half-mast flag

it\'s pin and cushion ride forgets me not.

insidious by name 

no argument by any other means.

black rook, it\'s eyes. it\'s solitary wing.

with luck this stubborn season 

forms a centre through a curve.

I am not convinced of curse or otherwise.

will you pardon me my ghost upon a cross?

each shadow dance\'s vertical

speaking German in a gas mask

this winter, pure as sunlight

prosecco chilled in an ice-box,

my face a friend I have not seen for a year.

each turkey plucked and cooking with it\'s god

that sucks and pisses wine

it\'s yellow apricot,

is it vinegar or love that matters most?

not for song

these habits that we crave,

burnt letters to the grave 

on edge but still smiles kamikaze man!

my nose has bones in the bowels of a foot.

am as green as I am wet behind the ear.

I wear only white when Sunday brings a hush.

Vienna has it\'s many moods

just below the eye

owls hoot, their yellow graves.

blood orange on a five line stave

we dead are sound asleep;
