Kings

I am itch-rolled

curled on my side
of our double bed

my head sandwiched
between pumped pillows

whilst you are spread wide
elsewhere

until that breakfast tray
arrives at your door

and the cooled order
is admitted

Mike Bell's expanding collection of poems is his ongoing response to actual moments – conjured memories – and a fearful future. His ambition is to publish 10,000 poems, and then take a nap. His writing continues to be reproduced in various formats and journals – he also throws himself out there in occasional readings – open mics and poetry sessions – when his body is willing. Mike Bell is found working for money as a freelance set designer.
