Poem - Decanter Fish

I was sitting having a small glass of wine
when I saw a fish

and ran out to the scullery
for the fishing rod...
I thought to cover the decanter
give the fish a sporting chance
this time I opted for a worm
since fly fishing in the house can be very disruptive

Poem - Not Kosher

extremist, terrorist,

the truth of anything becoming more elusive
but definitely a smell to ISIS
paradoxically the whole thing is not kosher

we’re just sand worms 

life passing through us

intricate designs on Darwin’s beach

good to the next high tide
