DENTIST's DELIGHT
Around and around
the ache,
Jaw to temple
fontanelle to nape.
Panadol and aspirin
an hour, the ease.
Then it's back!
Around and around
the ache,
Top to bottom
ear and face.
Visit the dentist
to have it pulled.
But will he take
the right one out?

Corbin Burnsin and my tooth ache.
LIGHTS OUT
When I first came
to this town.
They used to turn
the lights off
at Midnight.
Not a street light
could be seen
from sea nor air.
The stars could
lead the way
glittering against
the raven sky.
A crime wave
put an end to
the black out.
Street light shines
in my bedroom window.
The night hours
are now lit up
like day light.
