Snake

A blonde hair spun
from the towel

like a flying snake

that leaping wonder

but this spin in Sussex
was slow motion gathered
by the early sun in bathroom

and in this marriage
there is no certainty

who is Ishah

with whom I fall?

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.
