Collaboration with Northern Scapes

With permission here are two poems done in collaboration with artwork from Jessica Owen aka Northern Scapes (http://www.northernscapes.co.uk)

Breaking Light I

The remains of the dark

leave an etched purple and white

turning the water

into a storm close to hatching

Stroking imaginary fingers

in different accents

across a slow rumble

crossing the skies

Kidnapping the air

in anticipation 

Transforming the sunset

into a hollow warning. 

Breaking Light II

Windmills linger

Through the lights

Shaping handprints

In the mist

Sewing answers

To your lips

Plucking mathematics

With each movement

Struggling constantly

To get through the fog

Like a car driving

Through the moors.
