travelling – no theme

                when the wind blows
                leaves turn and follow like
                dislocated jazz-hands

                everything is parting
                and passing all around
                … me (is that the theme?)

                I can’t find what to
                think or notice; in the
                corner of my eye a

                small black creature
                keeps pace, stretched in
                leap over field, through

                hedge, unspite, imhindered,
                depossibly, gathering
                everything in disregard;

                bit between molars (for
                weeks, for days?) wedging
                teeth slightly awkward

                has just worked loose;
                there are skies, there,
                certainly, high, silky

                and whipped, and then
                blue-coagulated drifting
                like a fleet, like calves

                crossing fields ears
                waving, as wind blades
                heave beyond hill horizon

                I conjeal            myself
                in notice, relieved with a
                thread and co-ordinate

                where for to breathe
                again but having lost
                so much more that I

                never had; Carol shuts
                the Kindle and leans; I
                smell her warm head

for miles – arrival

Batgirl –

peering over her glasses
through the fourth wall

all of a sudden there was
long grass in silhouette

over which to run
and there were foregrounds

of leaf behind which
to proceed and she thought,

I could keep my looks
under cowl and let

the quiet and angry hair
take siting and co-ordinates,

let the cape field the
flow of air while

Batmobiles rev loudly
and float adrift the green

and current stalks –
aimless to behold
