“In your light I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest
where no-one sees you, but
sometimes I do, and
that sight becomes this art.”
― Rumi

Instant poetry


Cheap and dirty

much like the

nondescript

smudgy brown

sludge, oozing 

welcome warmth 

From a wheezing 

machine

Under the dank stairs

On a lonely platform 


I fish out some old coins 

caught amongst the life-lint 

tucked beneath my 

left coat pocket

One for sorrow

More for pain

In return for a 

thimbleful of

Temporary (in)sanity
