New poetry – first one in quite a while.

Authentic eye-witness accounts of what’s happening in Gaza are hard to come by. This, from Private Eye, reveals so much.
New poem: American politics and the dread of “the Me”, the ghost in your bedroom, his cold hand on your toes. undergrowth.me/p/somebodys-s…
Valentine’s Day… ugh! Love… yay! New poem on desire, faith, the heavenly choir and Cupid. undergrowth.me/p/seraphim
New poetry by me: a concertina of time, and impotence in the face of climate change undergrowth.me/p/hourglass-s…
My latest writing, on dealing with death. Grief grows like ivy – delicate, lingering, and rooted in these three poems. undergrowth.me/p/buzzers-cal…
My friend Juliet is fundraising to go to Uganda to give medical support to help prevent mothers’ deaths during childbirth. Good cause! justgiving.com/crowdfunding/…
New #poetry, on my foppishly fashionable youth meeting the ice-cold reality of Yorkshire. undergrowth.me/p/moor

Latest poem from me – all nots and backwardness.
“…Knit back the fibres,

diluted, unborn,
unfall for each other,
wipe the sun from the dawn…”

…So beckon them, close
to the pew next to you…

New #poem. I guess I’m a family man.
“From shoreline to hilltop
from village to docks
I can unwind the years,
I can turn back the clocks,
hear the crackle of Cretaceous bones in the rocks.”

Next ex-President Donald John Trump
Talks as if emptying a sump
The contents of which are lapped up by a crowd who will all
Clutch MAGA hats to their chests at his funeral
