(Barcarole)
If only you would touch my heart,
if only you were to put your mouth to my heart,
your delicate mouth, your teeth,
if you were to put your tongue like a red arrow
there where my dusty heart is beating,
if you were to blow on my heart near the sea, weeping,
it would make a…
Happy Valentine’s Day
a couple poems…
*****
It was a main road
but nobody had a car
quiet, with a post office
and a lane you’d walk up to Colindale
On the corner
a mass of trees
Don’t go over the woods, they’d say
there’s an old swimming pool
a boy fell in
cracked his head and died
How about not falling in
I’d say
I’m missing you
I wish I had
*****
I am a black and white café
Wooden chairs
Closed down years ago
You want to come round sometime
I’ll crank up the coffee machine
or brew tea
We can talk or read or write
or play and sing…
I’ll probably feel that I want you to stay
but you know I don’t want you to stay
that’s about as complicated as it will get

I will bring you lemon sorbet
daffodils
bricks of solid gold
a dress of sunshine
the plastic handles from a girl’s bicycle
fallen autumn leaves
cellophane-wrapped chocolates
honey
a tube of oil paint
the no-parking lines from off the tarmac
the paper from my living room walls
the cover from Basho’s Haiku
turmeric
Colias croceus

Thunk Lyrics -Jefferson Airplane -1971
sittin’ around thinkin’
thinkin’ and a thinkin’
and it ain’t doin’ me no good
well I thunk and I thunk
couldn’t think of anything better
I tried and I tried
tryin’ ain’t doin’ me no good
I write choo everyday, what could be
my very last letter
come what may I say
thinkin’ ain’t doin’ me no good
thinkin’ ain’t doin’ me no good people
thinkin’ ain’t doin’ me no good, no good
I want to know, if everything that’s sung
will remain
within the structure of a person
whose mind I wish to claim
please don’t say that wantin’ you
won’t do me no good
please oh please don’t say
wantin’ you won’t
wantin’ you won’t do me no good
wantin’ you won’t do me no good woman
wantin’ you won’t do me no good, no good
well I thunk thunk thunk thunk
a lot about it
realized my thunk is nuthin’
but a lot of funk
bunk down on in my place
only a dream (hum)
only a dream (hum)
only a dream (hum)
thinkin’ ain’t doin’ me no good no
thinkin’ ain’t doin’ me no good no people
thinkin’ ain’t doin’ me no good no good
