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

Glass Adults
My childhood
My sisters
My menagerie
Consumed
————————-
We grow up
Relationally developed
Our needs
Valid
Yet
We base
Our value
On performance
Our self-worth
Pushed to the side
Conditioned to please
Our compass
Lost
Fragile
Glass babies
Become
Hand blown
Glass adults
On the verge
Of shattering
Daily
My sisters
My menagerie
Consumed

of freedom
i am
in mind
younger
than
in body,
so many
thoughts
possible
like sunsets,
such wisdom
to bless,
adventurous,
a dreamer,
sometimes
i take
my chances,
leave myself
open-minded,
nothing
shameful,
embarrassing,
i am not
opposed
of freedom.

Knuckles
When next you see an old couple holding hands.
Pay attention.
Look how their bent fingers are clasped as one.
They bent them together.
What is that called?
Pay attention.
Look how their bent fingers are clasped as one.
They bent them together.

not me
I am these days
by age
made distant from myself,
a shallow bodying
infirm
off balance and
unrecognizable
an alien, a startling wraith within
my mirrorings.
And rest? Sound sleep?
are things now on the brink
of memory.

we love you
doubt we’ll live long enough
to see little
Oliver grow up to be a man, but hope he
at least remembers something
of his grandad and
his nan

Lovely Mistake (in that life can swallow you whole before you see anything coming but next thing is they got you)
this stupid little life
in this
stupid little house
in this
empty soulless city
means (absolutely)
everything
to me

Much About Age!
A blank page
An ageing old sage
Within my cage
Trying to engage
And gage
My outrage
Yet strangely, Beige
Reduces my rage
As i re-engage
For a small wage
Upon a well trodden stage
It's probably my age!

Love has no restriction
White sand is running
The hourglass will betray
We'll forever love
The hourglass will betray
We'll forever love

don’t answer it, dear
the larger and taller
the city the colder the fear
of the unexpected caller,
the knock at the door
the city the colder the fear
of the unexpected caller,
the knock at the door
