Verity Spott. Poet. 'He'd make a big show of sticking the two torn halves in his wallet. When we buried him, Frank and I tossed the last two halves he gave us into his grave. Here ' 'Between the two torn halves of my soul are cities and climates' 'Place those two torn halves of the map together again and you are re-enacting the history of the Silurian to Devonian periods' 'The two torn halves promise but never deliver full restitution'

And There You Go...
The snow is very deep today. But most days you get up you go out in the
dark and you walk in the dark till the light comes up and you leave the
light and behind you a long trail if flotsam and ahead of you flowing
over the air or in the flotsam which is all around from all the other
people and signing a line and managing to cope without the daylight in
your little wooden precinct you think perhaps it was only earlier when
the light was coming up when there was something like a triangle under
ground as a foundation and every time you move or are still it is there
just like your nice face. It is there, and each sleep takes you closer
to every movement you make that takes your sleep and makes sleep a
moving thing. A moving thing that happens and takes the sleep off
detaching it, slippy oil and eyes that you scatter and throw into the
flotsam on the road to work and sleep where your thrown out oily eyes
squint back pleadingly or in fact they reassure you because you see in
them a sublime simplicity and never take them back. When all you want is
what you know: that the journey from yours to work is startlingly
complicated. You want your chucked out eyes to look on in sympathy
understanding the hardships of everything which is simple and attributed
vacantly to humans.
