    Yes (I have a book of poetry out, "The Octopus Frets: political poems"). My poem follows:

    THAT FORTNIGHT

    The Sadler sidles up to the star siding blistered with tears
    buried under oblique vanity's footsteps
    and diamond bracelets brace against her thought
    that Woman is a cloud, and men the poisoned aquifer divided in three, aquamarine, green and aquamarine
    as the wind politely swallows its azure for the heifer
    and waits for the cheese to be murdered by a footprint
    while swallows wait to taste the death of the (noble) orangutan whose hair
    had to go to make your brand-new brassiere

    The sky strains to create its sparks of ice that
    freeze our kisses for some delightful day and the taste of ice cream
    will no longer taste of the trapped dark of the mixed oval
    screaming against the diagram where
    the fresh wind thinks to tear our hands apart and
    the daffodils rip at our intermingled hair
    If we could just lie back watching the unfixed sky
    with trees' jazz fingers magically held up like bank robbers,
    your skirt like the petal of a tulip, like the most delicate crocus of the violin
    murders would not follow us piece by piece
    and crosses step by step the impossibly rich hair of the medieval princesses
    and every tic not paused and pierced by knives
    but hours that do not pass pass like the unclosed loop of the seagull your
    breath thick with tastes of smoke and darkness
    your memory crushed by the teeth of the green monkey
    your laugh gently laid in a precious box lined with pearl
    all I have left now my skin was burned away

    I had to wait at the shipyard with the black skins of battleship hulls,
    hailstones tossed at my face as I starved to death
    and mimed grief on skis with irritated toes
    and my boots eroded like the spooning cockers who mocked the pincushion
    and painted my arms with black-white-blue stripes as I waited for the cookies to survive
    the mists of the alligators bringing tumours and "Habaneras"
    I waited under thunder until my skull was crushed by the ice from a 747 and I used it in
    mixed drinks at the casino Royale
    castigating his son for the mixed knees of the rodeo
    Driving on heroin almost off the rim of the cloud city
    Divorcing the zebra who always held a cosmopolitan
    and carried pearls and alloys just under her disappearing tongue
    I don't wait any more
