I’m ZOOB.

That’s whoob.

I’m what the wind means

when it moans,

‘Zoob… Zoob.’

I’m what the sky says

when it groans,

‘Zoob… Zoob.’

I’m as near as you are,

I’m as far as the sun,

I’m everything

And I am one:

I’m youb…

Zoob…

ZOOB…

ZOOB…

Dorothy Hogg had a hot-dog stand:

Hottest dogs in all the land.

East and south and north and west,

Dot Hogg’s hot-dogs were the best!

What Was It?

What was it

that could make

me wake

in the middle of the night

when the light

was a long way from coming

and the humming

of the fridge was the single

tingle

of sound

all round?

Why, when I crept downstairs and watched

green numbers sprinting on the kitchen clock,

was I afraid the empty rocking chair

might start to rock?

Why, when I stole back up and heard

the creak of each stair to my own

heart’s quickening beats,

was I afraid that I should find

some other thing from the night outside

between my sheets?
