looming in shadows
another month presses in
don't let it crush me

n.b. One day at a time, please, one day.

years ago we met
you couldn't find the right key
now, you play them all

air soft as petals
white, yellow, pink, now red
floral procession

~

n.b. Carpets of snow drops, followed by primroses, above us cherry blossom, now quince in this hedge; bluebells shimmering in woodland next.

window open to night
light retreats over hillcrest
lone blackbird's lament

held by golden thread
improvised quilted patchwork
stitches unravel

mad rush of morning enjoy

afternoon walkers
enjoy last warmth of the day
life's ageless pleasure

shaking out dust from feathers
rarified beauty

on time

a note on my phone
carried over from handset
upgrade to upgrade
as my memory of that moment
diminished, reforms in grey
what was it? evidence
for prosecution, or defence
minutes noted of a crisis
in progress as we regressed
to parent / child
the damsel / knight dynamic
lanced through
by your distress
my confusion
