Butterflies
Yesterday I saw two butterflies.
White!
Chasing one another.
It amazed me.
The thought of what made them stick together
Was it glue?
A needle and silk?
Fluffing arms,
They followed each other all the time

The Fine Line
Plastic glossed words
Born in silence
Meet the gleam
Of lamps
Candles
Sun
And starlight
Preserved by
Observant ears
And eyes
Captivating to some
Always never sometimes
Ever wise
Born in silence
Meet the gleam
Of lamps
Candles
Sun
And starlight
Preserved by
Observant ears
And eyes
Captivating to some
Always never sometimes
Ever wise

there’s no give
we want to be heard
but refuse to hear

Plans
Happy anniversary!
What to do? I’m asked…
plans to celebrate…
(can I just be alone?)
[sigh]
fancy meal it is, then
(I’d rather nothing)

A friend
And tonight:
All i wanted from a book:
To hear a familiar voice.

Imagine
If Lennon was here,
Would he still minister peace?
Our world's in danger
Would he still minister peace?
Our world's in danger

in her nineties, she doesn’t think it will happen again
mum was a child in the
second world war and
I was born thirteen years after all
she says life has to go on

I'm Home
Mariska looked around
the house with palm
trees surrounding it
and said "I'm home."
