Performed a live studio visit with Harriet Bowman on Weds called How to Role a Tyre. You can only speak when you have the tyre, then you roll it on. The tyre was mic’ed up as well as us!

things that make you feel safe
when you don’t know how
the world works

endless heat
the children come home
for an afternoon snack
Mom and Dad have a quickie
in the hay bales

the crane cries
a sound to tear
any banana leaf
it’s time to tell the children
where babies come from

on the night bus timetable
look at the moon
in and out of synch
with the laughing gas zeitgeist

when I score I get
into an untouchable
mode of confidence
two years lost
chasing the dragon

good or bad
a person lives or dies
looking for oblivion
you’d better watch out
if you’ve got long black hair

the gatekeeper flies
her rounds past the ride
the hedges and the bents
a flush of feeling
that the world is ours

and the river church
we visit them both
cupping our hands around
the flames as we light the rags
