sooner or later

we will all be forgotten 

anon.

slowly shadow slowly

climbing the flowering currant

at this day’s end  

warriors 

fallen like the blossoms

in this cul de sac 

 ‘sooner or later

we will all be forgotten’

what’shisname

 swim time

in the cove of no wind

long sunshine 

 daffodils 

the football team

in a yellow strip

 not so grown up

his big man’s umbrella 

blows inside out 

how clever he says

righting my blown umbrella

stepping in mud

 the cobbler

with the leathered face 

polishing a brogue 

 plum trees

my neighbour and i 

share pollen

 iPad morning

the reflection of my hand

smoothing the cat

 swallows feeding

above the fattening lambs

we eat the lambs

 hand in hand

stirring the aquifers 

of another land
