Extracts from first book 'Choosing The Stone'

'
polka dot dress

moire patterns dance

across her breasts





soon as he died

the widow chopped down

all his trees





private view

old friends older

new work scrutinised





cold east wind

pigeons hedge hop

the penetration






solitary horse

his spring erection

patient stare






midwinter

empty seat faces

the leafless lane






deep turquoise light

from a magpie's back

its quetzel flight






front garden privet

all the town's sparrows

having a riot






ripple's centre

a sucking

carp






dawn

blue corydalis slowly

releases the night






post box

new air mail

robin droppings






red cherry leaves

wait for the next wind

her parting words

.
