Silas Celebrant
St. Silas is celebrating
the one thousand seven hundredth
anniversary of our Creed
which is, The Nicene Creed, Credo
with a month of March Lent study
in the Church, after Sunday Mass.
Never fervently Lutheran,
our fundamen Londinium,
St. Silas has, in Gods' Choir
Cantor, sung Full, sprung in Latin,
vital for Westminster Abbey ;
and another Coronation.

must join The Roman Empire,

Re-Reading Motion
Mornings bright and cold, like today
I would read beneath canopy
fronting The Hotel Aquitaine
on a sand dune, in Aquitaine.
Redolent of a lost era,
in your work, a sense of the ghostly
if constantly vaporizing,
a hopelessness, for elegy :
is that, now, of the period ?
And time open for the poignant,
with your ghosting of tragedy
in faint lines, nearly feather-light.
I am minded of Le Carre',
of a silent disappearing.
Motion Summa (1978)
The very telling adjective,
pointillism superbia.
Off edge, Elizabeth Bishop ;
not Tolstoy, but Anton Chekhov.
Church Of England Sale
The Canterbury betrayal
of Roman, beyond the pale
with rather a tall tale
never inspirational.
Or quasi-Papal Anglican,
united in The Nicean.
March 3rd
12 Lines For Vance
America : too rich to fight,
in a withdrawal of The Right
with The Trinity out of sight
and large dogs with more bark than bite.
Squander youth in digital night,
post Dylan, they have taken fright.
*
Wry, it was Henry Kissinger
who could talk with Bavaria ;
like Konrad, no friend of Prussia.
'America First', positional
on Germany, for revival
which created Adenauer.
( I have yet to make a couplet
to beyond another triplet ).
March 7th/March 14th
Ash Wednesday 2025
I am only here by the grace
of God. Ash to ash, dust to dust.
We endeavour to leave a trace ;
The Forth Road Bridge can turn to rust.
In the women, therein his face.
March 5th
Debussy Choix
Dans l'apres midi, le desert
est un glace ou le sable.
Je desire fort a' finir
le finalement de chaque heure.
Sa musique plus douce de la mer
est sourir sur la plein table.
Je lu Mallarme-Debussy
de la Premiere rapsodie.
March 5th/ March 15th
Per Pro Monoculture
Needed : a monoculture, to win
a war, and a way to begin.
Advantage : Poland, Catholic
monokultur, with Industry.
Dorota, cleaner, knew Latin
and served wine when I turned forty.
Spoke English from nineteen forty.
Poland : richer than Albion
in near future. Not bathetic.
Kept swarming us like the vulture
driven to war by The Junker.
March 6th/ March 14th
Inner Kremlin
Why, no peace ? Moscow wanting
the return of Cold War wiring
and everybody blinking.
Who might begin to start winking ?
No dividend from that thinking.
Nor a demobilization
of every watcher station.
Be prepared each Nato nation.
Their diktat, a nihilism
and fermenting schism.
Worn, the fluttery parasol
and Chicken Kiev a table
which can no longer be eaten.
Fried, nearly all have been beaten.
*
Anna Akhmatova : we weep
that a multitude cannot sleep.
Stalin betrayed Casablanca,
Yalta, Czeckoslovakia.
Operation Unthinkable
a sudden dreading of Churchill.
Now it is wild Hungary
for buffering democracy.
March 5th/ March 21
The Criminal Acts
Not equal : Blair's wobbly human
and the instructing near Norman.
It did begin at The Tower
moving the Saxon from power.
The peasant cannot be in charge
as is understood by Farage.
*
Superior, the brave Elite
where the Albion waters meet
to the sound of hurrying feet
of the smiling we stand to greet
and they all live beyond deceit,
no woman in a winding sheet.
*
Who will rub oil on her feet
before a rapture as they meet ?
March 9th/ March 21st
The Postulate for The Lords
MI9 to The Blairs
and the idiots of Oxford,
who condone bad behaviour
allowing the grotesque vulgar,
Lawing The Equality Board
damning superiority,
preaching inferiority
protecting the downright Racial,
in two Acts guilty of libel.
Both are in need of repeal,
for Albion to get a deal.
Few buy from the incoherent
populating the grunge present.
( Is there a Neanderthal grunt
rowing on the backs in a punt ?).
March 9th/ March 21st
The Death Of America
by the Kds
Self-important, about nothing
onto Reality TV
parading a naked Trophy
wife, California dreaming
in lives totally trivial,
arrogant about the facial
looking preposterously smug
before cavorting on a rug.
Does everyone want a hug ?
and a famous face, on a mug.
Is the world-famous mind a fug
to capture in a kitchen jug ?
*
Oh to be Californian
with illusion, Elysian !
What family rhymes with Trojan ?
and, partly, or with Egyptian...
March 9th/March 22nd
The Body Young
Suddenly, age eighteen, she leant
after Communion upon the neck
of her mother, in red raiment
affectionate back from the trek
in the pew ahead, my praying
on a grey shelf inches from her,
older ; felt her youthful power
and that of the Springtime coming.
March 9th
Exam Question For Oxford
Which is the greater Poem : The
Whitsun Weddings, or The Quaker
Graveyard In Nantucket (Lowell) ?
who never threw in the towel,
Boston being greater than Hull :
New England, for The English School.
Do we share a sense of wonder ?
On that, there is much to ponder.
March 10th/ March 24th
Ukraine Today
I really do have to protest,
from the passenger manifest.
Just like Czeckoslovakia
a far away country, unknown
partly given to Hitler, for peace
in our time (1938).
In reality : to buy time
before actual war began
and our Radar scanning, on beam
with squadrons of the Hurricane.
Phoney before Poland, blitzkreig.
Trident no use in The Baltic.
We long for sunny Crimea.
What is Putin's next big idea ?
We have everything to fear
and worry about what is near.
March 10th/March 24th
March Hare
The text is ending unending.
Can I now win at mind-bending
or configure at shape-shifting ?
The hare is in the daffodils
and we aim to head for the hills.
In the dawn tree, a robin trills.
What if the robin pert is text ?
Is it for execution next ?
I will not say I am perplexed
and crave a slim young woman, bare.
M will remember ; is not here.
A snaking event gave her fear.
( Get off the sofa and climb the stair.
We can explore and seek from there. )
Ex City Corporation (CH)
Roman ruins and more City
skyscrapers show UK open
for business : The Corporation.
Under 85, Gracechurch Street
found, 1st Roman Basilica
in month of February, intact.
Tuesday Blues
There is no needing to hurry,
with everyone full of worry
and agonizing of money
finding very little funny
and who is saying : oh, sorry !
and in Auden, goodbye honey.
Tuesday rhyming well with Bluesday.
No day for the girl to stay.
1812 Again
We have to dust down early Forts
on the Canadian border
by Trumpian North America
behaving badly, like Russia
to the noise of angry retorts
and concerning field reports.
Once we The White House fired, song
long after trouble in Boston.
Will he take tea at Sandringham ?
There is the question of Quebec.
Rough House
What, sadly, happened to NAFTA ?
You need to use Liberia !
America : a Wasp power
and the bees really have a sting
for The Great Day Of Reckoning,
of that, there is no denying.
March 11th
1539
Berlin broke with Rome, for Luther
as a part of Teutonia,
German the lingua franca
two hundred years beyond Chaucer.
Roads of The Hanseatic League
carried the letters of intrigue.
There were few fetters in Hamburg.
At Potsdam the Ruinenberg
but, until Karl Friedrich Schinkel.
March 12th
Rebellion for Alison
Life of poverty, purity
far better than bending the knee
as a defender of the tree,
flowers and the honeybee.
We hearten in forsythia
and yearn for an Arcadia.
March 13th/ March 29th
MI9 To Project Blairs
Polluting crucial Albion
The Blairs are guilty of treason.
We cannot accept non-people
who disregard The Church steeple
or decry The Rome Cathedral.
Bs encouraged the decadent
and the lazy incoherent,
a popular music surfeit.
You never mentioned discipline
or smart changing of bed linen.
When will they be put on Trial ?
or pop the cyanide vial.
