Hyacinth moon

Y Tir Cwastraff


April is the miracle month
Resurrecting life 
from dead land
fecund Ram 
flood moon
The moment in full colour,
Steeped in plenty, 
Womb full desire. 
Weaving  memory
On scented breeze.
The perfection of being 
In the sheer forever now.

The seed sap 
bright liquid dawn.
Sun surges 
through stem 
the engine of leaf
the engine of me
The force that
Explodes blossom
That drives my blood
Knows no winter
Sees only
Death the generator

April is the fifth Force 
Surprising us with
sudden rain 
shivering the lakes surface

‘Coffiwch! Dim Sais! Cymro dw'i!
Go iawn Celt!’

We called across the lake
of the drowned village
As the submerged bell rang.
But we knew them of old
So rung  a slow curse.

Mixing blood and soil
Wild hyacinth scented
Cauldron monthed
Wild moon miasma,
Thunder struck by creation:
loveless you will be
In the unreal city
Virus ridden lost ape 
Alone in the karma cafe 
Rain streaked windows
Lives measured out
In cigarets and ringed
coffee cups
Plastic spoons.
With no real home
Nor hope in deliverance 
Educated far beyond 
Our Intelligence

A cup of tea gone cold

An empty hall 

A closed theatre

vacant seats

Something just not right


The candle gutters

A lazy Spider crawls

Shadow play on walls

As I wait 

in the dust 

Of silence 


foolish I 

Poor silly man 

Wanting it all

But never catch as can,

Must be content 

With my discontent 

I consent 

But at what cost?


For had I won the universe 

And you,

I still would say I’d lost it all

And say it was not true























Experience once

The flower cracks  the seed That grows the bud  And the smallest atomised grain blooms the maths of things  Joy love, fear and pain  the equ...
