beyond the giant boundary of my tiny world jennifer diamond took me by the hand up the steps towards the slag tips to see the pool that a thrown shard of slag could turn into a splash ~ the ripples are still spreading 75 years later~ long after jennifer had died and left me alone with this sharp stone 

an exhibit at an exhibition

 an exhibit at an exhibition 

there attendant is

an exhibit that moves

occasionally 

from one gallery to another 

it’s a long word

sometimes he needs help

with the double doors

a thousand words?

 a thousand words?

a photograph as an image 

is a collage of thoughts

rolling like leaves under a waterfall

first this one on top then another

merging in the shadows of depth

words 

become river banks 

become 

rocks that the water falls over

as the river runs away with a thought

of words describing words as

dogs running along the bank 

barking at the leaf boats

going over the falls

take courage stare crazy

reading the image through a magnifier

at the wrong end of a binocular

still now ~ smile ~ steady ~~ steady!

CLICK

there you are

laundry womb

 laundry womb

the washing machine

its innards gurgling

the room becomes a womb

then all at once 

everything starts spinning 

and thump jumping

as the waters break 

through the bent tube

i make my move

when prose says a word please

when prose says a word please

you wait for a word

then two come along

they are so full of themselves

no   wait

there will be another along soon

but soon is a long short

soon you will get it

says prosody

be gone

two words say

                                        be done

here’s one word for you

stupid  stupid  stupid

now look what you gone an done

so every poems repeats

soon   soon 

Gower Walking Festival 2026

Gower Walking Festival 2026

to walk release on the winds of breath

come rain or shine the euphoria of being led 

by leaning upon the words of a guide across

a palimpsest of paths freshly reappointed

   

from far and wide they converge 

upon conversation’s terrain to uncoil 

as a group along a line to where the 

sea’s amalgam sands the landed sky

drawn along in a pause we wait

for our ears to grow accustomed to

words that paint a picture within a picture

to be handed a seance of times bygone

funny sunny or bane of rain

heads lift   hearts sore

for a poem has captured more 

so much more than i can say

they say ~ ~ thank you ~ thank you all

more walks if you please

so that we can chat and stride

along tides and fields and trees

rambling along a rambling wave

time and again we say

thank you all

  from all of us
