on Independence

freed from monarchy
everyone responsible
Liberty Bell tolls

n.b. Beyond words.

on time

BOOM!
I have time all over my hands
it runs between my fingers
I walk through Sunday stunned
by the smell of the river
the humidity of the air
the taste of rain in the breeze
peach blossom in the city
a bumble bee, as big as a thumb,
nosing into a crocus, bending the stalk
busy drinking, as I am free to do
if I choose
to spend my time drinking
in now
all I have is time

on freedom

options unbounded
simple needs confused by choice
chaos surrounds us

~

n.b. Some needs can be met by local services we just want to work properly, (e.g. schools, hospitals, trains, water supply, power supplies), other needs are more of a challenge.

We are all different from tip to toe and one size can’t fit all and in England the weather adds an additional layer of complexity it has been remarked.

on payday

all those hours used up
while outside weather happens
meaningless tokens

n.b. Herzberg was right, hygiene factors, such as the work environment and pay, are nothing more than satisficers. I look at my salary statement and think, I am giving up living for this, just so I can afford to live?

The Dancer

in this moment I saw you
impressed upon the sheet of heaven
your wings
lifting you above all
that ever bound you here

Crow

sentinel of change
fly beside my freed spirit
orientate my soul

n.b. See the crow? He’s up there.

Finally

She dropped her shroud

Stepped clear, stood and proudly proclaimed

It is me. I am here!

Here nobody knows

Who I might be, nor my work.

Freedom of movement

To travel freely

Without a care in the world

Forget the mirror
