When telling your tale
Do you remember to add
That you’re a liar?

On Dreams viii
I awake screaming
Puss drips from my febrile heart
Each wound gangrenous

On Autumn
Today it begins
Half and half before the dark
And cold returns here

On Friendship
Over years it grows
Constant through Life’s vagaries
Time no barrier

n.b. For Mary and Chris.

On Silence
“I have had enough
of strong silent types” she said
“It just hides weakness.”
~
n.b. Silence can be discretion, insecurity, fear, lack of imagination, an attempt to punish, to hide, a form of control, or just plain rude; you choose.

On Dreams vii
I wake up drowning
All calls for help unanswered
Shouts mere bubbles
