We Have Gone Again

Many thanks to everyone who attended our little show in Aberdeen and Edinburgh. The feedback was very encouraging and much appreciated!
We have returned to our homes to recouperate and relax for a wee while.
Then, with any luck, we will start writing again. Hopefully we will regroup before too long, refreshed and raring to go on another Aligees poetic adventure...

We Are Coming

Gird your loins.

Replenish your optics.

The poets are coming!

Adequate Warning

Beware, for I will take him.
There will be no fight;
he will come to me
willing though wary
as a child to a stranger,
but he will come.

The nearer to me he gets
the faster you will vanish.
Your shared history,
your acres of secret smiles,
I am afraid to say,
will count for nothing.

I will scent my pillow, and I will
stir his mind with my eyes.
While you keep looking the other way
I shall create fresh memories.

I strongly suspect that you
will barely witness the vanishing.
I shall suck away his skin
and when I am through
you may take him back.

He will be as bones.

You will consider this a gift.
