Four Poems By Gord Disley

 

 

 

untitled

 

tree up near where you’re goin

shoes boots tied round it

bout twenty mile in

hundreds of em

dunno why

is

 

 

helga
 

diabetes
has
her

             and all round the place
             accoutrements

blood pressure gauge, oxygen, pills

            and what she had for breakfast 
                        what she had for lunch 
                                     what she's having for supper.

you get up
you change seats

she looks down at her hands.

 

 

fragments 04

Summer day
Girl with basket
One dollar plum 

Each of us
As damned
As holy – 

Sleepy we watch
Lightning storm
Burn the lake 

Young black girls
Chase a limousine
Down Queen Street 

Late night television
Adam West
Kicks a rubber shark

 

 

morning bird  

            shut the fuck up
            you little prick
                       (six fucking a.m.
            before i take the
            fucking hose to
            your little warbling
            yap

            fuck nature
