Voices is intended to be a collection of poems written and illustrated

wish
i wish to walk around casting flowers
i will chant your name there in your favourite place
i will recite the poems of frost and anguish
i will know that you are there among the bluebells and the hare
and in the centre of my cortex
deep beneath religion and the reflex
i have a picture of you lounging on my shoulder
laughing
laughing like a bluebell to the sky
your voice a twinkling within its bell shaded dewcup
