Pete Spence
Anne Cessna.
Anchored to the air a
Nuance clearly wired
Now forever afterwards
Enters the skin of a hill
Clatters as water does
Escaping a No Vacancy
Sign lit up in bright
Sounds high in the dark
Narrative parading by
Arrival's bronze applause
Étude Seizure.
étude seizure? a Villon
is at the gates singing
while some elephants
are on a skiing holiday
in the alps meanwhile
in Mauritius the gazebos
bivouac in the swelter
the vocalese of a swift
hinterland echoes
through the hills pouring
the scorn of scoria on
the odour of puritans
Breugel steps out for
some fresh air but
its the wrong painting
he is in the signature
in the corner reads
Grandma Moses!
Pete Spence was born in 1946. He is a poet, visual poet, and filmmaker, and has worked in various jobs to cover the ongoing deficit. He is currently retired from work but not from any of the above.
