Pennies
I save my pennies
that the wizened apple of my self
might know some comfort
that the wizened apple of my self
might know some comfort

Days
The spirit of each Day
wakes one Morning
having slept the best part of a Year.
And the Morning is the same for each of them -
so much to do, having done so little,
and all in a few hours.
But for Christmas it’s different.
For Christmas it comes hard.
The other days are merely birthdays or anniversaries,
a holiday here and there.
There may be more important times of the year
but for Christmas we are always counting down.
But Christmas finds it easy because Christmas doesn’t care.
And all the other Days...
wakes one Morning
having slept the best part of a Year.
And the Morning is the same for each of them -
so much to do, having done so little,
and all in a few hours.
But for Christmas it’s different.
For Christmas it comes hard.
The other days are merely birthdays or anniversaries,
a holiday here and there.
There may be more important times of the year
but for Christmas we are always counting down.
But Christmas finds it easy because Christmas doesn’t care.
And all the other Days...

Cuthbert
He worried his name
would map a future for him
that he never wished for.
He thought about it for a time
before walking away
from the family fortune.
His family were distraught.
But Delores tells me
that happiness like hers,
it can’t be bought.

Cut
Bright as a ribbon
snipped by the mayor
to a round of applause
her river ran
one sunny afternoon
taking her with it.
When she was moored again
she had butterflies
and flowers beside her bed.
The opening was closed.
She was quiet, peaceful.
When they asked her why
she whispered
because, it made me feel alive
snipped by the mayor
to a round of applause
her river ran
one sunny afternoon
taking her with it.
When she was moored again
she had butterflies
and flowers beside her bed.
The opening was closed.
She was quiet, peaceful.
When they asked her why
she whispered
because, it made me feel alive
