The house stands open
to the weather.
Walls cracked;
roof collapsing
...
I saw a songbird in the sky
I looked away,
when I looked back
A hawk had it.

"This algebra " he moaned at me
What's it for.? And why?
It makes no sense I just can't see,
my head's all out of joint

Gilwilly industrial estate.
That's the one I'd be,
If i was one.

Born and raised in urban lancashire. After trying several careers i eventually settled on teaching. (Great holidays.) Believed by many of my students to be a serial killer in training. (not true I. Hasten to add.) Now live, work and raise my own children in rural Cumbria.)
The Airman
His shapeless mass of flesh and bone
Stains with blood the ancient stone.
From a nearby tower, tall and strong,
He thought he'd fly, but he was wrong
