 after sitting

on the bank of the river


i took it home

 oh little fly

on my medicines tray


are you unwell

 we walked on the sky

until time’s tide took it back


and far flung the day

  sun breaks through

the cat is under her blanket 


new year’s day 


 every jam jar 

contains my childhood


tadpoles and ladybirds

 he wrote on the cup

the year of the enemy

this made me so sad

 old photo

i try to clean a smear


from my sad screen

 new year

this smear on my glasses

is a tear

the cause was long forgot

but just been brought to mind

 new year

this smear on my glasses


is a tear
