Target, Number 6


NOTICEBOARD
Border meeting
Dormitory town
Sleeping dogs
Lying around.
Time and tide
Kinky sex
Head over heals
Mum knows best.
MIRROR IMAGES
Here sits an hour ago
Keeping that which goes together
Across the word and place the faith
Leave time behind in silent shadow.
Sun translations of the Bible
Bigotry on sale/return
Knowing what I mean to honour
Headquarters you win, but learn.
TAKE YOUR PICK
Hire bridges, fallen arches
Spurning longdead riverbeds
Dried pramwheels, pressed timepieces
Rusty cans and bonedead legs
Stagnant pools, deodorised armpits
Rainbowed with oil and watercolours.
INVITATION ONLY
Black bandaged night
Mother's milk
Overhung parties
Lost on the moors:
Smooth as silk.
Shadowless conversation
Unexorcised guests,
Games for poachers;
You can guess the rest.
