Dream


my birthday - all by a stream. I realise Rachel is there, and so ask her how she is doing. Losing things in water.

Later, parents beside me in bed. I hear my mum say, 'I don't care,' and I go downstairs. Talk to Mark Phillips as I hear the bed knock against the wall.

Angus presses me over the comment 'I'm glad the baby's alright.' Why wouldn't it be alright, he wants to know.

Two Dreams


i

Pawel is biding my time
as I gather by his presence
that he is still in his previous position


ii

William horseback to royal wedding
Joe passes, we josh, with a hand raised in hailing
Offscreen a heavy thud
His play-acting found a stone slab to break his fall
He sits up, eyes scrunched, blood being rung through
his short dark hair
