Cat Mitzi, 22.02.2006
Epitaphs on the back of the stone
No loneliness will clothe me
Elsewhere
Advent
The lovely Hyti
On arriving at the seaside with a carful of children
who need entertaining
Radical kids’ song
I wrote you a glowing reference
The battle
innocence sweet-strung dulcimer
Starling curls
Sulking on my own rock
The Nosibeam
Mobbed heron
A pun(y) defence of the pun: a hard read
No thanks
Times come
Revelation
Now that we are in love
Now that we are lovers
With me
Sundown by the Severn
When love is not so hot
The loving-cup
How red her eyes?
Telephone
Caught in a landslide ….
Oh how my tallow quickly burns
Gone for a song (qualis artifex pereo)
Paint on the flagstones
The one or two in you
Low
Dropping names
Digging the past
A dark descending
Song of life
Inheritance tax
Schliersee
Zitronenfalter
Richard Jefferies (1848-1887)
To Eichendorff
The Name To Be
