Francis Scarfe Poems

• The Clock
  Far away is one who now is sleeping
  In the same world and the same darkness,
  But not in my keeping.
  Oh no, my arms could never stretch so far ...
• Tyne Dock
  The summer season at Tyne Dock
  Hoisted my boyhood in a crane
  Above the shaggy mining town,
  Above the slaghills and the rocks, ...
• Progression
  See that satan pollarding a tree,
  That geometric man straightening a road:
  Surely such passions are perverse and odd
  That violate windows and set the north wind free. ...
• Kitchen Poem
  An Elegy for Tristan Tzara
  
  In the hungry kitchen
  The dog sings for its dinner....
• Ode In Honour
  Evening is part of the jig-saw truth of her,
  ply-wood ply-flesh, her insolent reply
  blinding the ace with a straight shot to centre,
  the woman's a delicate devil in twenty places...
