Mark Cobley
confession : # 37
hurt is little more
than an orange flower
that we enter
my house you are so beautiful
i love you
i saw you in my doors . apricot
the other night
you were in the woods . my watch
by the stream . oak leaved
hat
mother was sleeping
pumice stone
blue bread bin
i eat a cake
she eats a biscuit
the dog eats a car
exterior becomes interior
never in retrospect
a good idea
so i stood outside pretending to be a river
ignoring birds . hawks . falcons
swoop on
the fruit bowl
and pencil sharpener
confession : # 6
thermostat
pictures
bedstead
kitchen things
i am wounded
i am hurt
in the hut
in the green garden
in the bakers
by thousands of pounds
and wedding album
and the sun is shining on it
and you are sat in the shadow
with a beach towel over your knees
