WHO THE CENTRISTS ADORE

According to 'moderate' politicians,
those "sensible adults in the room"
the billionaire, the fascist,
the genocidaire, the misogynist,
the racist, the Zionist
is always right,

made easier for them
as so many of those
who the Centrists adore
tick most of those boxes
so they rarely
have to choose
between them.

JUST BEFORE SUNRISE

On the Tuesday morning
when I should have been making
myself ready to leave
for a routine blood test
in the medical centre
I couldn't find my eye-glasses
and spend forty minutes
searching for them,
growing exasperated,
until finally I remembered,
long after I should have left,
and went to the living room
and found them atop
a drawer before the windows
where I had laid them down
three and a half hours earlier
when I took a photograph
of the landscape outside
at dawn, brightening
just before sunrise.

THE NIGHT AIR IS GETTING CHILL

The night air is getting chill,
so I will get up,
close the window,
silencing the night
that feeds the words,
and walk to the inner foyer
to close the door between
it and the outer foyer,
then make my way
to the kitchen,
flick the lamp on,
make a pot of coffee,
listening to the sound
of the coffee machine
until I can fill
one cup, drinking
it quickly, filling
another, coming
back here
to do something useful,
carrying warmth
in my hands
and in my belly.

13.08.2026

BUT NOT YET

It's sort of an addiction,
writing poems,
translating them,
one that
I believe
can be cured,
words set aside
forever,

the days
becoming normal days
lacking words,
streaming unmarked
to the end.

THEY ASSUME

Why don't you care
about Sudan?
ask the people
who haven't seen
nor bothered to find out
the hundreds
of social media posts,
the dozens of poems,
about Sudan.

They assume
just because
they don't care
then those who criticize
and oppose
genocidal
Apartheid Israel
won't care
about Sudan
either.

THE SOUNDS OF THE LATE SUMMER NIGHT

The window is half open
to the cool night air,
to the sound of distant
car engines
cutting the black
enclosed space,
and suddenly,
the chirp of a bird,
quick, and gone,
followed by the chirp
of the fire alarm
reminding
it's time to change
the batteries.

13.08.2026

PARTIAL SOLAR ECLIPSE

I went to watch the Sun,
low above the treeline,
nestled among wispy clouds,
be partly hidden by the Moon,
remembering how thirty-six
years earlier partial eclipse
had silenced the birds
with little change in light,
but now there were no birds
to silence, only the steady,
distant hum of the traffic
in the already
dimming evening,
and I laid down on the terrace,
listening, as the Moon
and the evening
made the light wane,
and awoke
shivering in dark midnight
to the distant hum
of the unceasing traffic,
untouched by eclipse
or time.

FLESH AND MIND

I took out and spread
your gifts
before me
and was all desire,
flesh and mind
consumed by lust
as I always am,
dreaming of having you
spread out before me,
your open thighs waiting
my trembling touch.

10.-11.08.2026

ONE LUSTFUL THOUGHT

One lustful thought
after another
and they are all
about you,

one lustful thought
after another
wandering
on your form.

10.-11.08.2026

IN MAY

The day garbs late
itself in sunlight,
but here, in the suburban
silence, an oddness
in the absence
of the sound of birds,
that turns the sprinting
spring into a gate
you want kept closed.

AT DUSK IN AUGUST 6

The Sun had already set
when I arrived at the lake,
on the shore of its calm waters,
and swam out, away
from the glowing horizon
towards the thickening night.

09.10.-08.2026

AT DUSK IN AUGUST 5

At fifteen past nine the Sun
descending
still set ablaze
the horizon

when I left for my evening
swim
yet when I stood
on the pier 
in the cauldron
of the lake

twenty-five minutes
later

only embers
of the Sun
glowed in the clouds
and the bright
evening
now a twilight
darkening into night.

10.08.2026

AT DUSK IN AUGUST 4

When I undress
in the thickening gloom
for my evening swim
I wish that I could
also strip you,
and wade with you
into the dark waters
of the emerging night.

10.08.2026

AT DUSK IN AUGUST 3

When you break its dark surface
and the lake embraces
you with its cold waters
you startle
as if still standing on the pier
you would have been asleep
now awakening
to the chill, prickling,
beauty of existence.

10.08.2026

AT DUSK IN AUGUST 2

Standing on a lake shore
in solitude at dusk,
you share its waters
dark tranquillity,
its momentary being
greater than any single life.

AT DUSK IN AUGUST 1

At the solitude
of the lake shore,
in the quiet calm
of its dark waters,
the landscape
absorbs your mind,
its fleeting thoughts,
and gives you itself.

THE DAY THAT WAS

The last light
of the descended Sun
burning in the clouds
at the horizon,

the last harvest
of the August day
that was.

BEFORE SUNRISE

Morning, and
it's yet summer,

still, unwithered
green leaves waiting

for the first sunbeams
to touch them.

A FEW GRAND SWEEPS OF A CELESTIAL BRUSH

Quarter to five
and suddenly,
morning,

a few grand
sweeps
of a celestial brush

the night's
black silhouettes
on blue silk paper

gone
for a landscape
painted in dawn hues.

AS DIES THE SEASON

Late hour,
brief time
until midnight chimes,

the waning Moon
in the crown dies,
as dies the season

in grief entangled,
and the branches
its deathbed make.

SEPTEMBER POEM TO HER

Days of iced coffee,
days of activism,
the weight of this

still looking good.

JANUARY POEM TO HER 2

He would have 
her now
if she would be 
here now,

a vision rising 
from her gifts
made flesh

in her place
as there are words
that don't share

his impotence
of distance,
words entangling
with a vision.

15.01.-19.01.-07.08.2026

AS THEY DISAPPEAR

The night is dark,
the high tide of summer
long ebbed,
and I listen to the silence
and fill it with these words
echoing
in my own mind,
for that is what I do,
I fill moments
with words
as they disappear
taking the words
with them
and parts of myself
that lives
in that moment
and nowhere else.

07.08.2026

BUT WHEN OF OTHERS

A life betrayed,
promise unfullfilled

even if one's own
regret the waste,

but when of others,
regret not enough.

Nothing ever is.

Be humble, I say

words

BRIEFLY GLIMPSED

The day that teased blue
grows dim; grey clouds
hiding depths 
briefly glimpsed.

BUT IN TRUTH

In his desire
he believes
he's a galloping centaur 
to her coy nymph,
but in truth Actaeon
to her Diana
any moment
she so wills.

OCTOBER POEM TO HER

What would he give
to have those legs of hers
open and waiting,
her pussy wet and inviting,
her voice telling him
to go for it?

He would give, he would
give her his eager fingers
and his tongue to play with,
his manhood to fill
that sweet pussy
between her fair legs.

07.10.2025

JANUARY POEM TO HER 1

Step out of your photograph,
come as a vision turning flesh,
warm flesh whose wonders
I can devour through the dark
hours of the night until bleak
morning comes. Until then we
will play...

AUGUST POEM TO HER 1

Poems that should 
have been posted
when written 
finally done so,
paltry efforts
written in desire
and hope
to pay back great gifts,
great support,
that have been
a light, a bonfire
in the darkness
of this world.

06.08.2026

FEBRUARY POEM TO HER 4

I was so delighted
of your response
when I first
gave little back
for your gifts,
your delicious
gifts
that make
me yearn always
I could show you
how hard
is my gratitude
you have aroused.

18.02.2026


FEBRUARY POEM TO HER 3

Seeing any image
of you I always think
"This is a woman
I want to have,
I want to make
scream for more
as we make love."

FEBRUARY POEM TO HER 2

Come and lower
yourself
on what

FEBRUARY POEM TO HER 1

What would he give
to have her in Eve's form
on his Adam's lap?

Come, sit on my lap
unburdened
by the world
and by clothes,
sit and ride 
on my lap
far, far away
beyond the burdens
of this world.

Come,

JUNE POEM TO HER

You look at the books
open, one on her thighs,
inviting to be read,

and you think of
picking the book up,
putting it aside,

and running your
fingers on her thighs,
reading her,

running your caressing
hands slowly upwards,
followed by kisses,

reading her,
opening her pages
with your touch.

04.06.-08.06.2026

JULY POEM TO HER 1

Going through your gifts,
gazing at them,
I get so horny,
standing hard,
wanting to pull you
on my cock,
your buttocks
in my hands,
my mouth
seeking your breasts.

01.07.2026

JULY POEM TO HER 2

He writes she looks delicious
but the time the words are down
delicious isn't enough,

it was a kindling twig
to start the high-leaping flames
and he the wood cracking.

02.07.2026

MARCH POEM TO HER

Out of his imagination
and her gifts
he invites her to step
to this hour of his
need, to drop
again that pen,
bending down
as he pulls down
her knickers
and enters
her pussy.

APRIL POEM TO HER 9

Weather starts to be fine,
turning spring warm,
one could throw down
a blanket under the drifting
clouds and entangle
our beings lasting separation.

APRIL POEM TO HER 8

Like a kid in a candy store
reading your letter
and like that kid
or Buridan's ass
incapable of choosing
standing drooling
imagining you
all around

I was thinking
of luscious visions
of you in acts
that would
titillate
my frivolous
longing
but now
I just hope
you get
back
the errand
wanderer

APRIL POEM TO HER 7

What he would like
her to do?

Suddenly he is shy -
where did that come,
after all his verses?

Aside, this hesitant
spectre fiddling
with its belt,

his older self
wants her playing
with herself,

her pussy bare
in a video,
close and beautiful,

another of her teasing
with her panties on,
slowly bringing
them off, letting
him see what he dreams off,

while talking to him,
have her fuck herself
telling he wants him,

to be on her knees
on her floor
asking for his cock.

05.04.2026

APRIL POEM TO HER 6

Even watching
pussy willows
signs of spring
on barren fields
he thinks
of her pussy
words evoking
her beauty
his desire

05.04.2026

APRIL POEM TO HER 5

He thinks he
he would like her
to wear a loose skirt
and nothing
under it
so that he
could let his
hands to go
exploring
groping
her flesh
when lust
would rise
hard in longing
and when
the hands
have wandered
and found
enough
uplift her skirt
for his joyous
entrance
through her gates

05.04.2026

APRIL POEM TO HER 3

I'm horny, my muse,
and I have you
to thank for it,
I would like to
slap your bare ass,
push you over
a table and fuck 
just what you
and your delicious
pussy deserve.

09.04.2026

APRIL POEM TO HER 4

Gazing at your
eyes, your smile
I'm captivated,
aroused, 
wanting
to kiss you,
ferociously,
I want to feel
those lips
on my shaft,
your tongue
licking
my manhood,
sucking it,
taking it all.

09.04.2026

APRIL POEM TO HER 1

What I wouldn't give, my muse,
to be making love to you
just now, gripping your breasts
in my hands while
taking your hard from behind,
my cock in your adorable pussy
as we move as one.

09.04.2026

APRIL POEM TO HER 2

He thinks of that sweet
pussy of hers
and his shaft hard
longs for its embrace,
yearns to feel her
take him, take
all of him.

IT'S STILL WATER, THOUGH

All my years
are like the muddy water
in the unfrozen puddles
incapable

A WHISPER IN THE SEASON OF WITHERING

To fade
with the wind,
with the fall,

if not blessing,
if not bliss,
a broken shard of serenity,

a whisper
became soul
fading

in the season
of withering
to winter dark.

THE MIND HAS ITS THREADS ALL UNRAVELLED

Dawn, and I should
be cleaning up Yeats
in this spreading
light embracing
yet unwithered
beloved landscape,
finish Baile and Allinn
transplanted
on a meager soil,
but I have
not the mental strength,
the mind has its threads
all unravelled
across the hours
of the night.

WHY SHOULD REST OF THE WORLD CARE?

The refugees of Bhutan
- whose very
existence is unknown to you,
Indo-Europeans
(for you ignore
and forget so easily
the rest of the world)
are worth more
to me
than your Ukraine

after these years
when you have shown
your contempt
towards those
whose suffering
is much older
than of your Ukraine.

You Indo-European
people of the West
you ignore the suffering
of people
who are not your
doppelgängers,
so why should
the rest of the world
care about your 
Ukraine?

06.08.2026

FOUL TASTE

The very word 'Ukraine'
tastes now foul
when that single
Indo-European country
gets more support
than all the long-oppressed,
suffering nations
on Earth receive,
because that single
Indo-European country
is situated in Europe,
is populated
by white Indo-European
Christians.

FOR THE WORLD IS A MORTAL THING

The world is ending,
but then,
when wouldn't it be?

For the world
is a passing thing,
a mortal one,

dying,
and yet
a thing being born

with ease or struggle
that kills 
its mothers,

the people
who fought
to bring it

and will cease
with the world
that was and died.

06.08.2026

WHEN WALKING HOME THE PREVIOUS NIGHT

At midnight yesterday
mist upon fields
shroud over
passing summer

in my eyes
tired of this change
of seasons,
of years,

yearning
the finality
of time suspended
in eternal now.

06.08.2026

NONE WORTH WHATSOEVER

What have the words
achieved?

Nothing but
more words.

And in this
illiterate world,

where even an image
of a broken child

intestines pouring
out of their abdomen

is ignored
and the butcher of childhood

celebrated,
in this immoral world,

what worth
have words

going unread,
merely recording,

words after words
begetting words,

not change,
what worth such words?

WHOOPING CRANES

In 1941, fifteen,
from the fifteen hundred
a century before,

living in freedom,
flying their long migration
across the changed lands

from their northern
nesting grounds,
untouched

when everything
else has been transformed.
Fifteen,

out of fifteen hundred,
heirs to three million years
of separate evolution,

three million years
migration
and then,

teetering on the brink
of extinction,
open both

the great wide
future
of millions upon

millions of years
and the long silence
of time given

geological form,
the long silence
that embraced

their dinosaur forbears.
Fifteen then,
and out of fifteen

eight and a half hundred
now, wings
soaring.
