oppressive muggy day

exacerbates

the old familiar

aches & pains

the rain siles down

breaking

the skies dark gloom

the clouds grimace

now bears

a sunshine smile

GOING HOME - a poem

In this week following Mothering Sunday memory prompted to re-post the following poem.

                         

                           GOING HOME

                       (For Anne 17 May 2004)

                 Life ebbs and wheezes –

we look

for signs of grace.

She slides

into the arms of love

and finds her peace.

We simply hear the space

she left behind. We smile

knowing this cannot be

the time for tears.

Her rest is welcome

as our spirits rise

to share in this release.

The process of decay

has ceased

to prey upon her mind –

She glides

into the arms of sleep.

 Malcolm Evison

IN CAMERA - The Dutschke Premise

IN CAMERA

(The Dutschke Premise)

The roving camera

hides its head

but speaks its mind

in camera -

exposing future threats

a kind

of esoteric time

exposure.

The faceless voices

sing their song

of freedom -

ignoring the Amen.

Malcolm Evison

15 January 1971

written as my response to the secret hearings

leading to the expulsion of Rudi Dutschke a student

at Clare Hall, Cambridge University, who had earlier 

survived an assassination attempt in his home country.

Poem originally published 22 January 1971 in 'Tribune'.
