Rocket trails weightless

rocket trails weightless in the star-studded sky

flower bursts hang, hang

fall like clothes

softly dropping to a carpeted floor

Edinburgh Springtime

Edinburgh springtime
T-shirts, sandals, sunglasses
Tourists in mufflers

I was your jumper

I started off as your jumper, your sweater, you pulled me over and held me tight.

Then too soon I was a single sock at the back of the drum.
