TWICE REMOVED


and here is the simple text of the same poem, in case of difficulty reading the illustrated poem




TWICE REMOVED


Today the sky
is one removed
from second-hand

the space
of window-door
is boarded up

the new skylight
reveals
a mottled blue white

ceiling. And we
sealed off
held captive

to constructor’s
whim

RESTLESS





RESTLESS


shattered but even so
muscle mind and bloated
intestines resist

the urge to sleep
each yawn stifled
by fear

of what new ailment
will inhabit this aching
hulk of flesh skin and bones

should my defences fail
discomfort is all
both yielding and resisting

sup far too deeply
on a scarce reserve
of stamina
