Electrified
It’s morning in the country
Electric pylons hitching up their skirts
Another day twitches expectantly
Convulsive beauty
Touch the wire, carry the power
From countryside to city
Slip your hand between the bark
And the flesh of the great oak
Start to quiver uncontrollably
Strange kind of beauty
Lay me down upon the line
From countryside to city
I know that it can’t be seen
Don’t tell me it’s nothing

London Welshman
Now summer’s almost done, guess it’s time to be moving on
Nothing here for a young man, guess it’s time to be moving on
Swansea to Paddington, one way only, no return
Hailed a cab and disappeared, one way only, no return
Became as one with the evening haze
This is the first of the rest of your days
And you struggle to make ends meet, SW2 Brixton
It’s not much, not even home, SW2 Brixton
Left the gossip and the Gorse, the city streets at dusk to roam
For better or for worse, the city streets at dusk to roam
With your eyes closed, how the whole world looks red
Sorry to go but I couldn’t have stayed
Became as one with the evening haze
This is the first of the rest of your days

Dive
Another perfect sunset. A diver in black silhouette
Walks to the end of the board.
What do you deserve? What do you expect?
Breaking the cellophane skin of the pool with his hands
A flick of his toes and he bobs up again
God, get me out of this terrible place
The shirts are bright pink and the jackets are tan leatherette
From where I sit I can see the sun but I can’t feel the benefit
What have I done? I can’t recall any great sin.
But then again…
