Weird Laburnum

Here are all of the short poems published in the  online journal Weird Laburnum.

adrift at sea

the god we pray to

waves 

*

from the kitchen window

my parents host

a festival of squirrels 

*

NO SOLICITING her future 

*

between one thought and the next empty space 

*

in the mirror an emoticon he mimics himself 

*

a mask of my younger self confidence 

*

petting the space where the dog was darkness 

*

swinging his banana republic 

*

asemic writing

a shoelace pulls

a trail of rain 

*

the name 

I set my poems to 

comet moths 

*

click bait Jesus the phisher of men

*

her holiday picture the lifespan of iguanas

*

as if he grew

from the earth

on his jeans 

*

with the window still open I wake to a chill

and tuck myself into your shadow 

*

she nurses a cold that hasn’t got better

the late autumn night stuffed with fog 

*

feeling my lungs

thicken with flem 

I hack up

a chunk 

of self pity 

*

the coldest day

of the winter so far

we stay 

inside 

despair 

*

driving my son 

to clarinet lessons 

the screech

and the squeal

of my brakes 

*

putting away 

the last of the groceries

a squirrel 

with a cheek full

of seeds 

*

filling the page

with meaningless 

scribble

I empty the time

from my day
