blues in the night
the discovery
of secret sounds
that hide in ice
in the boles
of trees
born
in fierce fires
I am talking
music here
I am talking
the crucible

Even when Death inhabits a poem, he does not own it. He is a squatter. In fact, Death owns nothing. – Todd Moore

To Milner Place,
Sir, do you have memories of early prep school days at Mowden Hall in Darlington? We are coming up to the school’s 75th Aniiversary and we’d be fascinated to know any thoughts you may have – I found your name antered in Mr Marchbank’s (Headmaster then) book of names. The school moved to Tynedale in 1946.
I’d love to hear from you.
