 linoleum

that big blue basket chair


childhood memories

 wet day

cleaning the tiles’ grouting


dark energy

 poems in hand 

look at their fingernails


disappointing

 take me back

to being taken aback

my child 

 autumn spider

no pussy cat! no!

let’s all sleep

 nebulae

who will sweep up the star dust


in the nursery

 is that an owl

in the trees across the marsh 


- awake so early !

 at the point

a lighthouse and a bird hide


wind in the grasses

 on the bell at dawn

the first spots of rain winkle

september’s ending

 children

out of their mouths

wonderland

 yet the sun 

through an eye of a needle


dazzles

 starry night

 - a lighthouse 

     - a lighthouse 

 if you need more words

you are using the wrong words 


imagine that

 come here

trying to pat the cat


rainy morning

 


when they want your mind

they build the biggest temple

with the smallest door


when they want your mind 

they build themselves a palace

within a wall

 seance

the peaceful cat


is we

 when the slingshot

killed the sparrow childhood

empathy was born

 a false bird sang 

in a false golden cage 

about false hope 

 from one garden pond

summer of jewels spilled

over my neighbours 

 first one leaf

on the black pavement

and then another

 when they want your mind

they build the biggest temple


with the smallest door
