stated the sign hanging loosely
from the overfilled door-
shopping was always a trial in late hour stores-
the leave it to the last minute philosophy was failing her-
the child in the pram rushing by
wailed at her,
still she had not realized it was time to call
it
a
day
retire
hang-up her plastic pay - anyway -
she recharged

spied another store from memory
put one shoe in front of the other in that direction -

Will Work Away
What a beautiful Smiling reception He received.
He deserved it after the work they’d put him through -
it was all true - everything.
He’d started from scratch,
risen up through the dangers of life in the urban underworld,
'how bold' the newspapers remarked,
“you could see from the very beginning that he had the life spark,”
one journalist quoted, doted, muttered out in ink,
oh how this accusation causeda stink,
them to think about the skin bone brain,
now risen to acclaim,
fame,

not a choice

smell
and
hear

see
when the rains fall from your feelings
and your heart bursts with love,
shout out the pain of it all
let the world feel
for loved ones at lastwill know
how to love you.

why bother annoying with it

dare
you who stands in this with alone
fight
fight
give me an indication that you love enough
hurt no one and not
you
nor your kind,
expect nothing,
for you hold all
in time ,
perhaps not and yet
we
live,
on so into yours and yours with love
perhaps not felt nor forgiven
and yet in truth you know....
such things are
i love you
then the slight flow of rivers ...

box
this bird box is occupied
beautiful blue tits raising a fragile family
fluttering,
night and day back and forth, feeding
catching, hunting, and fluttering
feeding their young, their kids, the next flutterers' and flyers,
the crows
the magpies...(our beautiful parrots)
have fed else where this season,
the blues and the yellows
the greys
flowing fluttering feeding and
looking out into the light
beautiful blue tits raising a fragile family
fluttering,
night and day back and forth, feeding

feeding their young, their kids, the next flutterers' and flyers,

hills
I have stopped and fallen
further,
even so.... I know there is further to fall
than this resting place,
I look behind back up into the hills
searching for my last sure footing, yet
as a nesting grouse lowers down deeper into its home in our heather
I see no where I had been secure before,
before this deepening fall took me
me and my self further
further,
even so.... I know there is further to fall
than this resting place,
I look behind back up into the hills
searching for my last sure footing, yet
as a nesting grouse lowers down deeper into its home in our heather
I see no where I had been secure before,
before this deepening fall took me
me and my self further

Sure poor
The boy that had put the crack in
the ice at the age of four was
now doing four for both of the
former,
he lay down
shut down
slept with a frown
until he was free to go
out with the flow
where would he go
he knew not this world
it had become a very different show,
still, he was
given a bedsit to live in
9-5
in a bar dive
and one night a week to be himself,
still
he was alive,
three months passed by
he'd still not told a lie
but couldn't help wonder why
it was the same as...
