Unmoored (From “A World Where” chapbook)

All must be unconnected, released. No contact with another person. Freedom is every person as a hermit, a recluse. Homes are not in gathered buildings, another person’s home should be out of sight, over the next hill. What need have you for phones, computers, TV and radio, letters and all other post? Aloneness is not loneliness. Contact only brings grief. Enjoy life. Cultivate your own veg, milk your own cows. Help is not needed. If it is, then you want problems and pain. Strength is in independence from it all.

The Collaboration

alights on differences, he has an eye this bloom should go here, I this shrub crouch here, in agreement scattered shale path wriggle round rock pools, that oak must not overhang the pond shaped like a kidney in memory of his that is now mine, as he says his heart is too. We collaborate to make a third person who when real must be considered health and safety wise garden design. Our relationship is the intersecting bit in a Venn diagram.
