SPEED-DATING

We met.

You wept.
I left


I'M NOT GORDON RAMSAY YOU KNOW

A 'Custard Cream'
was not your dream
meal for a first date.

You called me mean,
but if I'd been -
I'd have cooked an 'After Eight!'


MOTHER'S PRIDE

Beer belly clouds
lop over the horizon,
wearing the landscape like jeans.

Fog thickening,
like arteries,
devours hope -
consuming memories.

The diabetic sky
collapses
in relief,
and wets itself.
