Ewan Paterson

Caught in the crush
of endless reflections,
admiral of an armada
of picaresque notions
...

The full force of your passions
are a powerful pagan goddess.
White mare of Graves,
lover of horses.
...

A cryptic antiquity snatched from importance
by the mercenary hands of ignorance,
you have been stolen from history.
Hid in vaulted jealousy
...

As the light of the stars
starts from the time of dinosaurs.
Our nights must be bathed in
pre history
...

Contorted to the stillness of an abstract statue
I spent hours countering the balance between
beauty and desire.
...

Every so often,
for a fraction of
a second,
I feel the power
...

Spare me from material disgrace.
Let me live like my mum and dad live.
A well fed suburban kid.
...

I knew him like an ultra dilute aquasol.
I contained one part of his solid particle
across a generation beyond Avogadro's
number.An equation involving carbon
...

...

He crawled the mountain
nose to rock
and at the pinnacle
viewed The Gulf of Difference.
...

She wanted love to be some gloves
to cover her gnarled, nail bitten fingers
but
instead
...

It came to me
who you were.

It was revealed
...
