ivan mcguinness Poems
I observed the cooling towers to be chessmen
During our descent
In Indian style
Beneath a scattering of morning rooks
...
Rounding a corner I stopped mid
Stride, ridiculous with one leg raised
High, a surprise sliver of adder
Tongue toward the thigh high grass
...
Meet me on the Cowley Road
Beside the Temperance Hall
Where the beer hounds cough and guzzle
By the gaudy painted walls.
...
The slow walk back
Of the pace man
Makes me heart-quick.
A bat, a prod of the crease,

The Best Poem Of ivan mcguinness
I Observed The Cooling Towers To Be Chessmen
I observed the cooling towers to be chessmen
During our descent
In Indian style
Beneath a scattering of morning rooks
My ex-lover and I
Took another
Single pace
Forwards.
The church below us was a bishop
Pinned within the rank and file
Of it's pointless gravestones
Threatening an undiscovered mate
My pace losing tempo
The steep decline
My ex-lover and I
Took another
Single pace
Forwards.
The long diagonal of a five barred gate
Already crossing something out
A straight path forked
I took a long view of a shortening game
And in the end the rain fell
My ex-lover and I
Took another
Single pace
Forwards.
