Martin Lochner Poems

trying to bond
i grazed between
a flock of laughing goats
finding no connection
...

playing fragile

jet master jostling
...

revolving starry posters
chinese zodiac circus
celestial chained animals
a whole floating farm yard of futures
...

Father's anger
never showed
by strap or rod.
...

a thinking silhouette
that probing scalpel
once a man
...

broken shoes
leather uppers
otherwise synthetic
...

Outsider:

Daffodils blossoming in the desert
...

affection they had for
the nicotine stained master

coming every evening
...

never committing, pacing themselves against the expiry
never leaving the ground
never burning, lightening the sky
saving rocket fuel
...
