                                                                 turning right
                                                                 the moon
                                                                 appeared from a window
                                                                 above the supermarket

                                                                 making for the flagpole

                                                                 six o’clock

                       left now
                       the moon
                       retreats backwards along
                       the street
                       distracted

                       from the newsagent
                       the smiling Chinese face
                       of an old friend who is

                       still young

                                              turning into
                                              the high street

                                              the moon glided
                                              over the streetlamps

                                              and in the opposite
                                              side street

                                              red car lights
                                              flashed quietly

                                             the moon

                                the clouds have
                                covered it now
                                in my baggy
                                trousers I realise

                                I write better poems
                                than before I
                                was married

                                     with delight

                behind me they continued,
                “mu-uummm…”

                sped through the country
                she sat
                still
                yellow
                and smiling

                                                              blue and red

various lengths of tubular bells hang from a cheap roof-pagoda over the sunny rooftops.   There is a breeze, treetops sway but the bells never
                                    quite
                                                      touch
