LYCOPODIUM CLAVACUM
Looking up
you saw her nudity
bearing down
stunted by fears of impotence
you think of the honeyed sponges
hanging nonchalantly outside
the nearby shop
lying here on this beach
looking up
seeing her nudity
bearing down
hard unforgiving pebbles digging in your back
she stands above you naked
talking of gay Paris
you continue meditating on soft wet sponges
drying in the sun
going up and down in the wind
if you ostensibly believe
that you are not really on this beach
with a girl standing over you
her nudity bearing down ------------------- but you are really
going up and down the streets of Paris
her soft sponge like voice transporting you there
you walk the damp autumnal streets
as if in a dream
till the feet are sore
and daylight replaces lamp light
dancing in the puddles ----- walking on and on through the day until
dusk smudges the edges ------------------ of any arch triumphant or otherwise
take it all in ---------------------- write it all down
walk in the Paris night
whilst lying on a beach
of obdurate pebbles
digging in the back
looking up
nudity bearing down
sun smudged as dusk dances on the sea
waves rising up and down
all apprehension now subsides
a performance is about to begin
stunted growth disappears
as expansion takes centre stage

Poems by Colin I. H. Perry
The Bear Foot Doctor
This work concerns randomly selected homeopathic remedies found under the homeopathic rubric of “exhilaration”. In essence it needs no more than an open meditative mind to approach it. It is of course about everything and nothing – ebb, flow and alteration from different states of being to non-being, from subtle nuance to absurd overstatement. In other words, it seeks to be a random slice through the fabric of existence. It attempts to flirt with the physical, mental and spiritual all at the same time...
