The inhabitants of the city continued inhabiting it but the buildings lacked their old assurance. They stood like vague memories that woke them at night with echoes of ghost stories no one ever told and dust ten miles high.
The slender trees of Thetford Forest, like negotiating the strings of a harp.
On Distance Ever more distant, its cries sharper but fainter, the place means something from another time, in a dialect so strange you can’t understand what it is trying to say, or swear, or mutter into the machine of deaf ear, mute song.
Pranks A little late now to row back from history and expectation. The monsters persist in their monstering, urbane as their pranks may be. Oh you small countries, how handsome you look at night. How comical, quaint your poison-tipped teeth.
What is spring saying? Spring whispers fear and trembling. Why does spring whisper? Because all things do. But is there not energy and joy? Lots of it. And is there beauty? Beauty remains bountiful but fear and trembling whisper in the eaves.
Happy Hungarian poetry day @george_szirtes
A flash in the pan is worth two birds in the bush, the old man told me. A ha’porth of tar is the dark side of the moon, he sagely added. He was a prophet in his own country, he said, not without honour nor without two birds.
Cromer Pier Is Pier of the Year, News of great cheer To Langoustine’s ear. A perfect end To a lobster’s career.
Carol Rumens's Poem of the Week @GuardianBooks is 'Diesel or steam' from the title-sequence of @george_szirtes's 2021 @BloodaxeBooks collection #FreshOutoftheSky. theguardian.com/books/2024/apr…
In today's Guardian. Carol Rumens on a poem from my most recent book of poems, Fresh Out of the Sky, with a link to an article in English by Hungarian poet and scholar, Katalin Szlukovényi, at the end. theguardian.com/books/2024/apr…
How late it is now. Yes, but it didn’t seem late. It was a soft night, like this, the stars dim and the moon drifting among clouds. Was it cold then? No. It was like this, soft, a night to be born on or kissed on. How late is it now? Just late.
Someone pulls the rug from under the world. It’s night and there is laughter on the moon. Showers of stars burst like fireworks. Worlds look on dazed. Listen to the comic muse, darling. The universe tells the best jokes. The dead turn in their lost graves.
Where did it come from, that Hogarth Line of Beauty? What lumber cupboard of the psyche stored that tentative arabesque shift into desire, into what remains of hand tracing flesh, of skin, of nothing and more of just anything?
"...the supreme form of language is poetry. If society abolishes poetry it commits spiritual suicide."- Octavio Paz
Uncle Zoltan slept on a nest of white rabbits trained from bunnyhood. They were named after various uncles and aunts on the distaff side. It kept things in the family, he said. They would snore in unison and hop off at dawn.
Pay no heed to it, he said. It doesn’t bite much just fawns a little. It’s respectable. You could show it to your aunt even on Sundays. I don’t know its name, no one does. It can recite the bible backwards. Pay no heed to it.
ON THE NEED TO PEE The urgency of the act is regrettable, and somehow shaming as if you were back in a childhood so early it happened without you. Now here it is, unfolding into water. You had better go down with the dead fish.
All these brief lives, sigh the antiquarians. Sleep long on them. Let them sweep down any river, even one like this, the dross of night, anecdotes with teeth and bad breath. Dream on, comrades. Tell your jokes to the stars. Make them short, crisp one-liners.
Sometimes the world cracks a little like an eggshell blown clear of egg-yolk. It does not explode but ends up frailer. Such games are too much for verse like this, so fragile with its thin skin of language. That’s all it is, see? How helpless words are.

In April, I passed by Rowley’s in London where I took mom & dad to have ‘British food’. I was about to do an MA in UEA. When I applied I had a vague idea what this MA is like. I didn’t know anyone who did it. Would I do a CW MA/PhD again if I could? Yes💙
