day is failing,
November
the green-pickle hedgerows drip,
wet with rain & streetlights flit to life
illuminating the sleek, dolphin-grey pavements
You’ll find hedonism here perfectly framed flashbulb moments of jazz
Ankh Spice – The Water Engine
nail fallen crowns to the walls
Tenets
& chance will have you king
What I’d give to have unleashed a colony of gulls on them when they least expected it, to have had the power to command the birds.
Ghost Train: Next Stop, Nowhere
Parry’s poems are truly graced with echoes, the sharp blades of stars, butterflies, and the glow of sunrise over the desert.

Dusty in Memphis
I pour whiskey another
sitting in shadows anchored by thoughts
desperate for relief knowing the curves of your hips by memory
There is a depth of musicality in Alan Parry’s debut
Mari Ellis Dunning – Pearl & Bone
