what is the story
you want to carry around;

gloom forms about us
birch shuffles uneasily
blackbird flits to hedge

On Time
I forget details
You cannot recall the date
We both know our truth

On Thunder
within seconds of
flickering shadows on walls
shaken foundations

On Off
without direction
we wander quite happily
we are not clueless

On Empty
imagination
is fuelled by fumes of hope
I’ve lost sense of smell

On Cigarettes
he announced I have given up!
six weeks and it’s rare I feel the lack
I knew just what he meant
having given up on us
but he omitted
how raw that rare
how this rare is more like blue
there is still a pulse
when the knife goes in
I twitch

others out of kilter fall
wind and tide smoothed shore

On Hope ix
however long night
sunrise clears away darkness
flowers reopen

On Hope viii
words stuck in our throats
escape contraction, open
our eyes, free our hearts
