Five

Writing with grenadine sticky hands.

This feeling will only last so long

before it’s gone for,

only a little while.

The traffic light signs…

Big red pentaverates.

Remind me

Of a middle age story.

Some stone and cobble and leaves

And yellow everywhere.

That poem,

endlessly beautiful.



the tress of trees

the knight, the monster

the cutting off of heads



The pentaverate

which is mine

which is my five.

Why not write a poem about it?

Why not write?

I have a leather journal

Always, asking the same.

But on the bus?

No never.

The sunshine is too loud through the windows

And there’s fifty knights staring.

Where’s the aperol?

My hands are sticky.

I’m ready finally.
