If I were a Camera. ( Completely Revised and Re written Poem).

If I were a camera I would zoom in directly

On winter trees loud with anthracite crows,

The ice white ripples on a cold shallow lake;

The dance of snowdrops in the cottage meadow -

Not on hipster life in Kreuzberg Berlin - the snake man

Easing dollars from slobs on Venice beach.  Nor would I 

Grab a hat to snap Soho in the rain, rowdy pubs

Loud as Hell in Borough Market; punters sweating pints

                                                             on the Cam or Isis.

No - but I would rather be in rural Ireland

Far from the crowds at any time of year - snug in the

                                                                         coffee shop -

The Black Lion miracle.-Rock crystals on the counter that

                                                                  glitter in the sun,

A winter sun bright as morning dew. 

And there`s an off white sofa deep enough to sleep in,

Books to buy and cakes of many flavours - colours too

                                         because aesthetics are important.

To make the perfect coffee it must be shown to be an art.  -

Or across the border in Fermanagh buying

Apples and spuds and greens from that farmer up the hill.

His yard is as mucky as the coffee shop is spruce. -

This is the world I could live in, commemorate in black and 

                                                                                       white, 

But recall in perfect colours. Here where I am at home, loved

Respected. Not merely a pale face passed in the Underground.-  

An image that fades in an instant as the travelers rush by.

Bagatelle. (A Poem).

Perhaps I should write a book of bagatelles,

Scraps and off-cuts from my workshop; for

                                                        instance

If I should admit that all the photos- all the

Fleeting memories-the wayward dreams we

                                                            share

But have rarely talked about. These and all the

Night long phone calls -can-without a single

Clear exception

In no way substitute for months and years apart.

No, we need not write long screeds packed with

                                                                  feeling

To shout out loud our loneliness, our griefs;

A single bagatelle-perhaps a word or two-that

                                                         is enough

To say all we need to say. - To say it true.

Interior Landscape

 

February 2025 - The end of order, 4 Pictures.

 

Moonlight Camden Town / Interior. A poem plus 2 Pictures. (Poem newly Completed).

Buying incense by moonlight -

The swiftly jostling crowds are all strangers.

I walk slowly through the mob

Eyes tracking my footsteps because the path is uneven.

I am mourning Marianne but cannot share my memories

With crowds of folk I have never seen before,

And without a doubt, will never see again.

My past is simply my past and that is all that can be to it.

I am merely a downcast face in the winter throng.

But far away, far beyond the traders;

Far beyond the shoppers and almost at the verge of sight,

I can see a lonely girl dressed in grey and white,

An Ophelia - mod and magical - only I in this crowd could

                                                                                     know.

She is standing at the top of the steps we once climbed up

                                                                    to the Roundhouse.

Her arms are spread wide. Her greeting, as always, is kindly.

"Beer or coffee"? She whispers.

We frantically rush to the pub before the lights are turned low.
