Richard George Poems

A ear-lobe jockeys
a mouse: its cat Caesar scowls
crowned by a socket.
...

We smelt a copper road from Samarkand.
Cloud-capped chimneys
fire eagles to swoop on our lungs.
Remember first term,
...

A girl is not your prize
for a new record
in sisterhood downhill slalom.
...

a sharp smuggled
into C major

flecks of blood
...

A Bible should not be in mint condition.
Let it stoop in a dead cell
surplice from fingers
immemorial fumbling for comfort,
...

From underneath I glimpsed her waiting heels
(Third floor at five o'clock) . For seconds flat
I was the ground where ants beheld a queen.
...

As starving sacked their underground
cathedrals, they were salvaged
by a zoo Soyuz.
...

The overweight student hears
'Mike's new squeeze is gorgeous! '
Lump in throat, he plods home,
imagination riddled.
...
