ohope II
Two poems and a quote from Ohope:
8:18am
there's a froot loops thief in camp
a stealthy hand in the night causing
chaos in his wake
you will hear the drama in the morning
you will be woken up by someone else's empty stomach and
hungry mouth
they will not accept coco pops as a substitute
they demand - deserve - the best
From Eleanor Bailey's Idioglossia
(a novel which I actually didn't like very much):
"People who don't need other people are never alone."
21.01.11
big day out but I am not there
plastic-covered caffeine joy
eyes blurry from cloud-coated sunrise
still red from sea salt songs
a symphony of 6am jandals by the shower
flapping-flap-flap-flup
it's light for about an hour before we see
space feels much vaster when you are between
the moon and the sun
and both are round and huge and
in perfect opposition
