like rotted wood and my wig of blond puffed hair fell in a clump beside you it was winter and you were left out in the cold but god hauled you in at least you didn t have to join the bitter stares the gaunt looks the glaze over every lintel in your mind now clearing you didn t become a childish comedy you got back your breath and we remained in god s good graces leave a comment poems vespers 11 january 3 2022 irene the trees whispered and the birds and the owl hooted when i put out my feelers my friend said i missed your writing what is there to fear is it anything severe this omicron that we have to put back our paces speaking in gutturals not lunging yet into sun we stand as trees holding roots together trying to birth or reveal our green inside tagged a change of world issue 20 covid19 poetry red wolf editions red wolf journql leave a comment poems vespers 10 september 22 2021 irene perhaps the wait is soon to be over a phantasmagoria of spending arose entirely out of this pandemic was just a surrogate for travel extreme domestication my soul is smelling of dead vegetation this fraying of nerves is soon to heal attending to words then a distrust of them a visitation from the sun a playfulness with shadows what can prefigure the future but time present and time past eliot s words on my page you read my litany and i really should rein that in shouldn t i holding the past at bay yet shine a torch that s what i m wont to do i read your words too full of humor for us there is only the trying didn t he say the rest is not our business tagged a change of world issue 20 covid19 poetry red wolf editions red wolf journql leave a comment poems vespers 9 september 20 2021 irene i come to you as fruit some days when you slice it it is brick hard yet there s a brittleness to it but the taste probably not too pleasant is it not quite the manna you d hoped for things aren t too bad in our part but is it still at loggerheads with a virus and not going anywhere we d been taught not to be blase about all that now oh quiet very quiet bite the fruit taste it like all our antiquated selves tagged a change of world issue 20 poetry red wolf editions red wolf journql leave a comment poems vespers 8 september 17 2021 irene in place of little yelping noises i decided to leave the words out to dry on racks as if they re to be pickled later or if not buried in a bog well you signalled for silence didn t you and all this while when nothing seemed to stir my soul there was something going on what it added up to i have no idea i watched downton abbey in the meanwhile splinters down my throat but good to know there s a capacity for suffering and then a celebration of sorts you know i try don t you don t believe for one moment that darkness prevails when the world shall turn improve still by leaps and bounds tagged a change of world issue 20 red wolf editions red wolf journql leave a comment poems vespers 7 august 11 2021 august 11 2021 irene i m good was all she said gradually eclipsing like the moon she d found sanctuary somewhere ending up slightly to her right some days i could see her getting nearer while completely hemmed in we re all in a fine sort of mess i think godless is a state like being trapped in a stephen dobyns poem where the dead surrounds you the silence is immeasurable everywhere the virus is gaining ground the whole country toes the line we stand perfectly still the virus does its snake dance tagged poetry red wolf editions red wolf journql leave a comment poems vespers 6 july 30 2021 july 30 2021 irene the world had merged into an all pervading abnormalcy so i wonder at deaths vast wings bearing up the deceased s soul the body a rag of bones wouldn t that theory have something divine in it what s this feeling of separation yet you remained working like a leaven so i ll feel as many transmutations as light things kept their formal shape despite a frail veneer words have a shape here too myself not yet laid to rest hanging on to anything thrashing in water till a long enough twig floated by when you pulled on the other end a feeling of friendship settled staunch even substantial tagged poetry red wolf journql leave a comment uncategorized vespers 5 july 26 2021 irene we walked in silence a comfortable one you brushing against prodding me which used to annoy set my teeth on edge perhaps it s just a push and pull activity all our human relationships what is the state of your heart the question on my lips yet it evaded you don t seem lost in gloom don t seem anything but cheerful in a halo of light that drowned everything else so i thought placing you in a place of permanence like a gray rock until now our fates diverged with the suddenness of a rocket into each of us a new world leave a comment poems vespers 4 july 23 2021 july 23 2021 irene we re getting more and more remote friendship rumbling and dried away no more wish to sleep on it yet sleep when it comes will take away all consciousness of this world take us to other worlds why is that you asked no answer of course we will take things as they come exaltation diminished glimpses through the rift like a faint hum or a long siren glimmered as humans growing less and less dissimilar as the pandemic laid us bare i said that lying through the teeth this is what i do glowering at you what a pathetic earnestness looking at old photographs as if first noticing the stars me looking sideways you biting into a chip our youthful glances seared into an old camera tagged my dream of you poetry red wolf editions red wolf journql leave a comment poems vespers 3 july 20 2021 irene another lockdown we all rasped together a wave of noise does it matter will we get it blow for blow what do words mean when pockets speak louder and lives where the heart is thumping and truth stippled on it i see the foot of a sleeper overpowered by tipsiness perhaps to drown out in enjoyment to paralyse horrors rising from the abyss
