I dreamt last night  That you and I slept  In a T shaped bed  With Darwin our dog  Sleeping at our feet  This was a little odd  As we do not own  A dog named Darwin  My name is Dave  And I run a pop up called  Coffee for Chameleons On the High Street  Which brings […]

When I was very young  I stayed at my uncle’s house  In Southern Spain  As the nights were so warm  I shared the biggest bedroom  With Ana Sol my much older cousin  She was studying Political Theory  At the university in the city And rose early to catch the train  My cousin had some strange […]

I live next to the Metro in Paris  It overlooks my small apartment  High above the scruffy streets  I often watch these elevated trains  And think of the people in transit  What do they think of my tired home  My Blue Piano   My torn Picasso prints  My Lebanese girlfriend  Who enjoys cooking  In the shade […]
