1986-1990: These are some of my better early poems. If I wrote poems like this today I might not be happy with them. Nevertheless I think they have a strength and character of their own and are worth including if only to compare with my later work.

I wish I had a place to go

I wish I had a place to go
To be alone.
Where no-one could look over my shoulder
and with the prying cameras in their narrow skulls
Steal my spirit.
