Commence the laughter.
We’ll circle back to the joke.
The laugh track will play,
The greatest hits of my life.
Nothings funnier.

Pain yielding through fear.
Love commenced through bloody tears.
Broken vocal cords,
Clipped wings. This flightless songbird,
Even healing stings.

"The Immortals of Harmony and Union".

#poem #poetry #skypoets #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity

beside the long
slow
waters
of the broad Huang he
which wander
on their journey
from Tibet
down
to the Bohai Sea
two boys
robed as monks
sit watching
as the sluggish
current flows when one hears a water bird
the other sees it dive
when one smells
the long-awaited rain
the other feels the drops
upon his face

on one boy’s lap
an open box
from which he takes
a lotus flower
and gives it to his friend

the other takes a lotus flower
out of an open box
and gives his friend
and still the Huang he the box
slowly runs
towards
a wooden argosy
which waits
immense and stately
for the wind and tide
to come together
and its great adventure
to begin

"One in Three"

From "Contact Light" (2025, Alien Buddha Press)

Stop! Listen! I was on my way
(It doesn’t matter where);
The stars were fading into day,
& in the East a bloody flare.

The wheel was heavy in my hands,
The traffic fast though sparse;
My eyes were swollen, gritty, &
I needed food & coffee, fast.

A sign for services appeared,
Blue through the windscreen’s blur,
& taking extra care I steered
Into a car park vast & bare.

Alone & stranded on a coast
Of tables stacked with chairs,
I ploughed through mushrooms, eggs, & toast,
& finished two cafetières.

The gents was clean enough, & yet
Beneath a piney scent
There was a whiff of winding sheet;
I quickly splashed my face & went.

Refreshed, replete, yet ill at ease,
Brain squirming like a toad,
I drove towards a stand of trees
That stood beside the exit road.

A sense of dread broke on my soul,
I sped up ̕til the car
Was barely under my control —
& then it came, as black as tar,

A cat that streaked across my bow.
I wrenched the wheel in vain;
The car was still, I don’t know how,
& I sat shaking from the strain.

At last I found the strength to stir
& got out of my seat,
& found the body — matted fur
& bloody face, no more than meat.

The corpse was tangled up inside
The radiator grille;
I stared at it — my eyes were wide,
My breath was short, my stomach ill.

I couldn’t bring myself to touch
This thing of bone & hair,
To pull it from the metal’s clutch;
Reluctantly I left it there.

I got back in, & as I left
The rear-view mirror showed
No sign of car park, Little Chef —
Only a long & empty road.

Since then I’ve driven up & down,
The cat a badge of shame,
But found no village, found no town,
No exit back from where I came.

Only the service stations drear
That dot the motorway,
In which I sometimes find an ear
Prepared to listen to my tale.

But now I see your friends are back
& with them you must go —
& I’ll continue on the track
Of one who’ll hear me & not lack
Compassion for me, & will hack
From off my car that carcase black,
& loose me from these bonds of woe.

And with each chop, their
faux sanguine façade crumbled.
Revealing a most
Ghastly visage, as the elms
Life withered away.

Happily, they glowed.
Their sanguine disposition
Left me unconvinced.
For I knew, the moon hid a
Far darker aspect.

"Time's Balm".

#poem #poetry #skypoets #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity

All things heal in time,
they say,
but some events just pass us in a flash,
speeding from an unseen future, lashing out
while overtaking in a specious instant,
going straight from now
to an incurable antiquity —
they circumvent the long and healing
years between,
and fester.

All things heal in time,
they say,
but sometimes wounds just fail to scab —
bleeding from the moment of their first,
fresh opening when friendship stabs us
in the back, they gape, refuse to close.
They throb, and ooze,
and make us envy those whose
deepest injuries
leave scars.

All things heal in time,
they say,
They lie.
