James Munro
XII: Robin Hood's Bay


For you have     dancing eyes
Blue and white     kaleidoscopic
Irises, entrancing     pied eyes
Inviting     oh and all the others
Have gone in unto you

I loved Ophelia!

The Ancient Irish (Robert Graves)
Dark poets through the centuries
Described the Goddess, wrote for Her
But did not live to see Her day, the Rose
Of the Welfare State

But I still sing

You have     laughing lips
Laughing kissing      bruised petal caressing
Fingers     finger tips
I never shall forget     You should
Be here

I should go back

In the north I die in autumn
Not in spring

Back to Better Than Sleep
