the remote house of old what’s his name

 the remote house of old what’s his name


moon tree moon tree this estuary of mine

walking me home alone from brown’s 

fag late and too late to sleep

in the writing shed of dreams

the comely words become undone 

to be dusted in a breath’s long drag

feet up the chair tilts the blurred distance

the world bangs a door on a cat night 

curled in bed of crumpled paper


a long ‘come on now boyo’ calls longingly

home for you my boy

home!


my bloody fag’s gone out

and the moon’s gone in
