seventy today

and the tide is only half way in

happy days

Gill (and Phil)

 elderly neighbour 

please feed my cat

i am in A & E

running up the steps

my racing heart

catches my breath

 sunrise 

golden vapour trails

• blockade

 headline - in danger

one thousand breeding toads

i shouldn’t have laughed

 the millionaire 

can but anything he wants

except time

 salt cellar

we both reach for the memory

empty chair

 torrential rain

it has stopped - yes yes

light footsteps 

 steady rain

a tree full of sparrows

nattering 

when the killing stops

i’m sorry i’m sorry i’m sorry

the child sobs  

 in my hand

my father’s whistling 

stick

 something’s up

there go the crows

a right brouhaha
