I like my poems to
have a shape
it's somewhat
elliptical
not a visual
configuration
more a kind of
synaesthesia
as if you felt
around each poem in the dark
and the colour of it
was round

I like my poems to
form a shape
they go for a wide
run
come back the long
way
like a working dog
come in behind
after some little
diversions
I set each one off
with a quick gesture
then when it has
gone to the very limit of my reach
whistle it back to
the start
where it heels with
a nip
sits panting
pleased with itself
I like these!
