indigo blue

 death a life  finished  all sewn up  the final seam that joins the edges to make a ball? (who will catch me? throw me?) a bubble gum ball that falls from the machine (who will hear the gear grind? the wheel turn?) who will watch it? hold it?  open it? find inside the faded fortune ticket  see luck?  or love?  or riches? my life inside the sphere fulfilled or failed? condensed finite fin august  2018

one year of your life  one year of mine and woven between us forever this fabric our journey in time 

Drought spade shallow earth so dry rock and granite hard blue sky rack and rapture dust kick die and all this thirst a savage brittle cracken throated cry

Foul Anchor cold north-east wind dropped  wind clock hands all stopped the chorus still silent no tick tock tick tock and road of dry lavender warm mud Nene warm winding through summer now that it has come

Cold Nene Queen Anne's lace on St.John's Bank this cold white Wednesday's palest green and cold the choppy full tide swell of potter's pink the Nene

lavender mud flats all bank long Nene tide out the summer sun and lorries run rip roar rip roar

soft throat the air pipe hollow Ring dove cuckoo ring dove coo and blackbird piccolo
