Micropoetry No 2

Another selection of short poems...


















Epitaph (1985)



When I died
this is what they put on my headstone:
                “HE DIDN’T COME TO DANCE
                 HE CAME TO WRITE POETRY”


Colours (1985)


in brown, you look gorgeous
in grey, you are stunning
in pink, you look ravishing
but in blue!
In blue
                you look ordinary

  
Gnats (1986)

gnats confused
flying in droves
lost
in a short life


Beam (1986)


oh
                beam
                                crack’d
                                                by time
wood wormholes are eating you away
one day
                beam
                                you may collapse
                                                                perhaps
