2776 We are nearly done, let us pause 

2777 The far faint sounds of a winter drum

2778 Paper cuts,sawdust, glue, string

2779 My blood undoes itself, my heart fills with air

2780 A juggler, playing with his balls

2781 You were born here, in an ordinary way

2782 It is time for one of us to go, or both to die

2783 You play me like a straining string

2784 I would like to talk with dolphins and learn to hold my breath

2785 Treading softly on the things I said

2786 I could become this picture, but I pause at the edge

2787 Ships, ships, ships, white, pregnantly heaving

2788 As if the heavens strained and suddenly broke

2789 I am almost innocent

2790 A big fat, yellow moon

2791 I once loved a Polish girl, on a ferry to Ostend

2792 Her hair bloody, matted with snow

2793 The hardest thing is to be loveless

2794 This the way the mourners walked, black, and damp with drizzle

2795 The rough moonlit hedges, the deaths of small creatures

2796 Two riders came, both dark, the larger with a dirty scar

2797 I am anchor-less, a victim of the tides

2798 You could admit it and then move on

2799 After deaths there comes a silence

2800 By the bottle, by the pint and by the jug

2753 He owned fifteen acres, an ox, two good horses

2754 It is always too late here, and always the wrong time

2755 God is smaller in the mall

2756 They have circled the wagons

2757 My bowels water

2758 In my dreams I have legs, a stout heart, the love of a good woman

2759 The Jewish Kamikaze: Torah! Torah! Torah!

2760 The shock of the volley

2761 Do they really think nothing has changed?

2762 She says the reception was somewhere else

2763 What we think when we are falling

2764 A sergeant I had never me and didn't know

2765 The point of pointlessness is that pointlessness has a point

2766 The weight of my rifle

2767 Do philosophers just fuck, or do they talk themselves out of it?

2768 How the memory strikes us, the details that emerge

2769 I'm the salmon that prefers downstream

2770 I should have died then, could have, wanted to

2771 The theoretical physics of the crisp packet

2772 The words we use to see things again

2773 Magnolia 

2774 The pit-bull respected, the Labrador loved

2775 The small repeated blows that make the heart

2726 "Lord, Lord, Lord, it was worth a try." (Harry Chapin)
2727 I hear the gentle click and clack of Mary's ghost making tea
2728 RHUBARB
2729 It was a night for old ideas, smoke, murder
2730 A quart of milk, four ounces of tea, and a pound of arsenic (for the rats)

2731 When girls wore petticoats and smelt of Tweed
2732 I am thinking of writing a bible
2733 We listened while those who knew the secrets talked
2734 A joyous fucking YES? Really?
2735 You will not convince me this is better. I say bitter

2736 By the bowels of your mother!
2737 Come here, let me mop your brow and sing
2738 A bright bird on a dark sky
2739 And then again, and again, and again
2740 There was something here when I looked before

2741 What matters, nothing else, is whether the line is straight
2742 I have a degree in self-pity, a PhD in misery
2743 Ants, Yummy!
2744 Reading older poetry, flicking through today's
2745 Admit it, there can be too much singing

2746 The Last Bus Home, Old girls in leather skirts and top-deck Karaoke
2747 Woman, red jacket, dog, a silver greyhound
2748 I suppose you can fuck me. This is as joyous as it gets.
2749 Die o'clock, getting on for late
2750 My flame has died. Occasionally I poot dull smoke
