Reflections

My mirror is a compulsive liar,
that hangs upon my wall.
It lies, it cheats, until I weep,
as it stands above so tall.

Why I read

Some of my most valuable experiences
     were other people's.

maybe too many books

you said I have to get rid of some of my books
are taking over the
house. I said really, which ones?

“nicholas blake”

no doubt he’d have disagreed with me, that his crime fiction
was better than his poetry, but
if so it’s an honest mistake ..

there’s a novel in this

always thought it a locked door mystery which would have stumped agatha christie; how do slugs get in the kitchen at night ..

Life sentence

I read and write
to escape
but I'm deluded
if I think
to elude
the end
there's just me.

Propped up
To ease the shoulder pain
Contacts in
Ears ringing as always
Glasses
At the ready
I eagerly await

The injury.

She lurks  
As shadow
And finds
My grave.

On still being alive

I live, and for now,
maybe
that's just enough.
