I go to this café in Amsterdam
and really fancy a cigarette and a coffee
but I've run out of cigarette papers
so the nice young man behind the counter
rolls one for me
and isn't Dark Side of the Moon an excellent album

Dark Idiot in Hawthorn
I feel like I'm pushing my fingers
into a couple inches of earth
when I want to drill for oil
I thought I was finishing myself off
– now I climb mountains, wave flags

Departure
When leaving
re-visit your favourite places
Say goodbye, and thank you
A clean sheet

Heading West
Dog in basket on tandem
wife behind
A Thames Path drive past
cycle bell morning
