Easter in Ukraine
Where love
Comes painted on eggs
Children's eyes sunrise
...
They were stuck. Their car
Refused to start. They heard words
Polite rain. Breakdown
...
Between voices between plots
Between broken benches
Between flowers and death
Where the graveyard rots
...
This is just to say
That waiting
For your answers
Answers many doubts
...
She spots Nostalgia
Rose beside its name-plate
Grows
Nostalgic to prune
...
She was too refined
Said she became slightly
Sloshed
Gently hammered. She
...
The announcement came
This train is going
Nowhere
Best training for life
...
She finds his March words
No longer part of
Winter
She reads with spring's rain
...
This poem has been
Cancelled thanks to loud protests
By vowels and strike
Action by hard consonants
...
Crossing Not in Use
Reading this at a junction
An old lady laughed
Crossed out her genuflecting
...
Poet seeking to divine differences in order to make a difference to people's lives.)
You Do
You do things to me
That things can only
Dream of
This is everything
