Last year (19 and 21 November) I read a few poems on Cath Kenneally's Writers' Radio program (digital radio, online and 101.5FM).
I've just noticed that the podcast is now available to download from
the website.
Here's a direct link to
the podcast.
I start around the 20-minute mark.

Mayday Mayday, it's Rescue Tuesday!
I rescued this week's piece from
My Life in Advertising by Claude C Hopkins (p 205) and
The sea by John Banville (p 143).
Freeze frame
Summer afternoon pocketing thunderous idleness in the dark.
Erotic encounter
covert kiss
black-and-white screen
flickering
fading
ghosts of desire sitting in pitch-dark intensity
for hours,
manic fumbling,
twitched satisfaction
deprive primal intensity;
confinement
reputation,
balls for breakfast
conscious phantoms lurch
from joy to grey
approve to disreputable
filled fingers to wanton waste,
picture-house main feature to forgotten poverty.
