Leaving London

Posted on February 1, 2022 by Dick Denham

As you leave London on the M4

postmodern office blocks
Audi showrooms
and David Gandy advertising Wellman supplements

jostle to bid you farewell

The High Life

Posted on July 21, 2015 by Dick Denham

We are the attic people

of East Dulwich

We live in the roofs, gables

and loft conversions

of the old Victorian houses

in the spaces previously

occupied

by scullery maids

and bats.

Oxford High Street

Posted on May 19, 2015 by Dick Denham

A shop called Swarovski,

men and women in doorways

sell magazines:

jewels and destitution, rouged to ruddied

cheek.

An Afternoon Well Spent

Posted on November 29, 2014 by Dick Denham

I sit in a cafe

sip Assam

Eat lemon sponge cake

and read Private Eye

Right now I feel

like I could quite happily

spend the rest of my life

alone.
