Vegetarian of The Mind

Lies awake at night

Can’t sleep troubled by carnivores

Stalking the orchard

When it gets dark we’ll stake out the foxes

 paces  along the estuary’s edge

power station  our iconic monolith

                                     ecosystem of octopods

On high summer nights the spectral marsh would glow phosphorescent

Underwater jazz 

Out manoeuvred on the chess board the old cheesemaker sighs

In the dream door opens bare empty room wooden floor sound of footsteps

Pull the light cord

Wake up
