new poems from my new book

out soon

Hill Death

Death ruled this pretty little hill

The death of soldiers in battle

The death of quarry and mine workers

The death of a pilot in a crash

The death of poor murder victims

The death of inhabitants by landslide

The death of a hiker by a fall

The death of lover by a jealous ex

The death of…

You get the idea

Will you be next?

On the pretty peak

Radon

Random varied letters written on card, meaningless?

What do they mean?

A code for secret agents

Or a more mundane spare parts inventory

There’s something both random and cool about it

I could’ve written the letters but I didn’t

I wonder who did and why?

If this cards was alone

The only thing saying we were ever here

Would it be priceless without value?

A bit of card with random letters on it

The only thing left from a vanished race and world

If aliens found it what would they think?

Throw it in the bin or worship it like a false God…

Glory Be Down

What to write?

That I wish I’d done it before?

Imagine if I’d started in the 80s

How could it would’ve been

Nick the 80s writer in all ways

Published in printed zines

Stapled together and lazily printed

Old skool joy to see and behold

But it was the nerdy 90s when it hit

My writing urge and success

I’m grateful to that but do wonder

How it’d be if I did it a decade before

I’d be ten years more awesome!
