Dog Latitudes §16 as if the houses were to be drawn across the loose earth on which they stand and go down as if the trees that shield us were to shake once and follow the houses roots up and branches down each the mirror of the other as if the sky already broken open were to fold and fold and swallow itself like water does as if we were to stand on nothing watching the symphony up to its last echoes and wonder what now what to do whether to step back or step forward or like the houses trees and sky itself just fold and fold and swallow ourself like water does
I'm a post-retirement Drama teacher, currently working part-time. I have a grown-up son and daughter, three grandchildren and three young children from my second marriage. I write - principally poetry but prose too, both fitfully published. My poetry collection Ancient Lights is published by Phoenicia Publishing (www.phoeniciapublishing.com) and my translation of Blaise Cendrars' 'Trans-Siberian Prosody and Little Jeanne from France' (illustrated by my friend, the artist, writer and long-time blogger Natalie d'Arbeloff) is published by Old Stile Press (www.oldstilepress.com).
I play bass guitar & bouzouki in the song-based acoustic/electric trio Moorby Jones, playing entirely original material.
