He brought her home
for the summer
but his mother
did not let her stay
made her rent a BnB
get a job
in a hairdresser's
yet she still believes
she has a place
reserved for her
in heaven

Zen and the Art of Zen
You know when you have to go to the dentist
or your GP
and you're sitting in the waiting room
bored
so you pick up a magazine
and it's full of tacky adverts
and inane junk
what does that remind you of?

They never touch the ground except the garden
It's all flight and turning and making love
The casual drift, smell of sky
and then they find themselves asleep
beside the river, flowing river
strangers latched in kisses
touching, falling, cut the dream
Holy garden
Cut the sky
