THE MOTH AND THE CANDLE-FLAME

Why I can’t leave,
(Even though you’ve asked me to)
It’s because you’re still standing,
Silent and Empty,
Like my coffin,
Waiting for me to lie down.
(This is me loving you.)

CHARITY

Here are my bullets – take one if you want.

I hold my gun like a piper,
And play it like a flute,
I think I’m a sociopath,
Or else a bit of a nut.

My essays are all dry, brittle things. They break down into powder and are blown away like dust.

Just listened to a recording of Maggie’s Farm live at Newport 1965 (through headphones) and startled innocent bystanders when my hair stood on end. Amazing, amazing. I imagine it’s a little like being electrocuted.
