Vol III Collected Stories - by Russ Grant
C1. I Have Met Them At Close Of Day Coming With Vivid Faces
Oh how we now sing the body mechanical
Everybody was Kung Fu dancing
The sun sank sharply
Old Man Whiskey Horse hugged his granddaughter
and left the rowdy Red Lion behind.
The kebab shop was empty.
He sat alone by the river enjoying falafel in pitta
On the opposite bank familiar skeletons erupted
Ghosts waved and blew him kisses
He remembered loves and friendships
A passing tabby cat miaowed
and that was that.
CII. Brittle with Relics
‘Brittle Bob’ hobbled down the hill, hiding an LP under his Jerkin.
Two teenage brothers were fixing an Italian moped on a driveway.
They were Arnold and Eugene, the barbers’ sons,
A wireless distorted through the grapevine.
The brothers danced, passing spanners and tossing rags
They revved and rolled their eyes.
They waved at Bob and called out
“Hey Bob, How y’doing buddy?”
Bob nodded to show he was OK... today.
Bob wobble-struggled on down the hill,
through school and the youth club into early adulthood.
Sometimes traumatic memories
haunted, howled, horrified or helped,
especially if he dreamt of Emily
and woke up with Julia.
CIII. Bloodied Shavings of Deteriorating Time
A documentary starts weaving
Through sunlit clifftop church ruins,
Gull shaped silhouettes en-shadow the sacred stones,
A fast grey navy motor-boat trails the coast below.
He remembers taking his father’s horse without permission
The audacity
The excitement
The speed
The danger The plain The tent The woman The tea The joy
His father’s anger and cruel revenge.
Now, In their city of wickedness.
They are teaching him to read and speak and think their way.
There are two women.
One who asks a question in the language of documentaries.
and his sister who whispers and weeps.
He barely hears what she says.
The subtitle is completely wrong.
