In his refuge
As the sun sets
The hare
Waits;
Dusk
Is its hour,
Its time to brave
The beagle’s
Bark and
Bitter bite
To leave his form
And risk
Life again –
For
Continuity.
The HARE

Epidemiologically Speaking
Epidemiological,
A word I do not use;
Yet now I hear it every day,
My hearing to abuse.
It’s about the study of risk factors
And microorganisms;
It’s not for me to understand
In this world of surrealisms.
Eight syllables do not with ease
Trip off my twisted tongue.
A word I’m very shy of, so,
For me it remains unsung.
Boris, he can say it,
And Mr Hancock too,
But if you really do not mind
I’ll leave it all to you.
Now Gone the Buzz

NOW GONE THE BUZZ
More lust than love
More greed than need
A risk too far
A stolen kiss
A snatch at bliss
A chance to fly
To challenge fate
Perhaps to catch
That passing star
Danger denied
And fear defeated
Replaced by want
By hunger
Longing
Oh, the need
Heedless of falling
Angst riven
Success driven
The wire so near
The fire so strong
Fingers knuckle-burnt
Dipped in greed
The risk taken
The book not played by
Rules deformed
to suit my purpose
The world being mine
To redesign
One night of passion
Now gone the buzz
Regret came later
As it does
