Gabriel SimpsonLaw Biography

Only dogs are out on the streets
See there’s no-one else here but me
All the bars are closed, so I’ll follow my nose
To the hotel I’m still calling home
...

Foresworn am I to ever view your love once swift declared to me
For false - it was and so shall be my abjuration now of thee
In consequence of what prevailed (and all that’s left of no avail)
My love for you will surely pale - all value and advantage fail
...

As morning lays her hands upon my sill
Ethereal threads of night I cling to still
And holding as they whisper from my mind
The revenant trace of you they leave behind
...

Should a veil of fear and suffering cause me at the end
To forget the love and kindness of you all
If I say such and such and this or that and it offend
Forgive this feeble body at its fall
...

At timbers edge where it curtains a hill
In the loamy shadows there something lay still
The tiny body of a sparrowhawk
...
