Unthreaten

In Donegal
I was frozen by the way I worded
Frost on Remembrance Day
You’ll be alright
There is nothing between friends that can explain the pain of Rod
Thinking of Chance Harbour way across Alan
We drifted to Digby
And scotched while rehearsing
It was Wednesday for our hens
And we were the Savage grandparents
In one tiny flower
Alison supposed a Harbour
With a huge Mount Everest Garden
Two years by twilight
And clothes on our rocking chair
I was healed by The Eucharist
On New Year’s Day
And all the way up the stairs
were early Valentine hearts
There was nothing between friends
But a chance to play with our boardgame
Brrr but ..oh it was cold ..
Grand Dulse was full of matcha
In a bowl of hot matches
And bees who saw wax being born
I was healed by Thanksgiving
And saw pale blue houses
Across to Tokyo
And things in a Honda for the first night I was born
I was expecting a night with Darrell-
To confide about the way I was born
And the watch I gave to Salim
Was interested in my redemption
Nothing happened at midnight
But two little socks for my friend-
The good one who stole nothing-
And survived a canoe tipping to Holland
It was an income for 39 years of three dollars an hour but less
The car took my fuel for granted
Bicycles were not to be stolen
And I lost the news to McLaren,
Chalk dust on my table-
So that Target would be rid of scented products-

Berries from Scotland made the way to my basket-
In Rockwood but less than here-
My best friend is Phil
Who I prayed would stay strong
And time collapsed to the rocket-
It was 2003, and OpenCL was starting to expose the gene that I had
Which was a vaccine variant
Nothing but pine – on Everest Zay
Prayed against the diesel
And tiny water, at Easter
Was my home

Forever-
