Osborne

Osborne Bull Sign

You stand the sentinel of midnight drank A drawn black shadow against azure 14 metres of nothing upon the tawny grass Your brandied herd, not more than five score, You roam in space, held dark in place, Charging the horizon, with cars we race, Distill the seasons into strength and proof Mix the sun with…

Salt Pans

April 17, 2020 by Dale 2 Comments

Today I taste a word crafted by an ancient man sprung from a fissure that divides our time the sulfured waters split our worldly body life rises with the gravity penetrates the fresh pine carrying white blood water caked along wooden veins dripping, heavy into clay cisterns of wisdom along a floating system a sluice…

Descent

April 5, 2020 by Dale 2 Comments

Emptiness is a staircase a shell enters the snail slowly we descend our soles slippery retracing steel treads listening to the darkness cold upon our eyes a moment in Girona a photograph remembers our ascent along Roman walls I still close my eyes and taste the metallic clang of Sant Doménec’s bells — it’s noon,…

Twisted Sky

April 3, 2020 by Dale Leave a Comment

White wide weight on height Wire my camera does wear Twisted, tested, trusted outwitted Statue stitched, stacked upon a stack, my stance beneath Blue, my eyes bloom, boredom, blah, I blew it Sky paints my psyche, a sockeye spawns Light — bright loot lites truth from lies Barbed war wound, St Peter’s gate is barred…

La Guardians

April 26, 2017 by Dale Leave a Comment

Sun dried peppers in Laguardia

Captain’s Log: Day 3 on Iberian Peninsula surveying Alavesa vista vital atop rocky hill La Guardians seem afraid of valley below — warding off invading warriors with strings of red phallic fruit theirs is bigger than theirs paprika dusted on the breeze hotter than sun-seared cobblestones warriors of the lowlands seem to have an antidote…

Luminescence Sent

April 12, 2017 by Dale Leave a Comment

Reflection pool at Real Alcazar

Colours pool in solitude – painted – brushes weather washes away – watery – reflections swallowing whole swatches – summer – swirls autumn awe solemn bare – cracking – crumbling diving down a mermaid den – sultan’s – glen rouge rapt on smitten cheeks – reeds – rise a peacock peeks – revenant – revivalent…

nine times nine

April 9, 2017 by Dale 2 Comments

my path is strung upon misted air its bridge I follow across divide my eyes are welded white with a stare caught in the blue of your memory its an apparition of nowhere reflected on a current of green our visions moving lines out of square fingers clutch against the flowing tide a strip of…

Quills

April 1, 2017 by Dale 2 Comments

Peacock Head

Dip a sharpened quill into the bluest ink of time and link it when then drink it now. Draw forth the weather’s breath through walls Nasrid built and exhale princes, all, are bid adieu measured now for red yellow red. Abdicate the past, passed caliphate and amir, proclaim an indigo crown to roost and rule…

Dense

April 1, 2017 by Dale 5 Comments

Densely packed grapes

It was our honeymoon — but in this case, it wasn’t the honey of the moon we sought. It was the elixir of the sun which drew us to Spain and to the Rioja. Landing in the land of wine, we took our accommodation in a history-drenched Parador in  Santo Domingo de la Calzada —…
