Friday 27 September 2019




from Enfield lock

The abandoned arts and crafts hut
The empty estate expansive 
Blown out by the showers
Unquestionably the day time trippy eeriness
Aura of emptiness and anti-depressants
Hangs in the air like a fat burg
A rainbow plays across a river
Funeral lights glow from inside stained-glass windows 
In the church at high beech
Cars line the woody verge
Everything flows through the arts café hut
It is an endowment of Pan and the sublime wood
Magpies and fungi guard the threshold
What secrets do the woodland dwellings conceal
What massive deviance requires so much room
Guarded behind twenty-four-hour surveillance
Buzzard cry buzzard fly wing span casts a shadow
Over slaughterhouse bungalows
Tread carefully up Avey Lane
To begin the return to the heart of the beech
Warm damp autumn conditions 
Are ideal for fungi
The arts café sublime decay
Decoy and magisterial entry point into
Underground networks beneath the forest floor
Spores soak upwards
The tea hut 
Maintains its trippy essence
As dog walkers haunt the periphery.
