Leaving

 

It’s complicated

me and my father; and now

he leaves one last time.

Changes

 

Tired of childish games

Dolly cuts loose, adventures

on the horizon.

Sand Bay

 

A Summer”s day draws

to a close and we huddle

watching the tide rise.

Awake asleep

 

Our tummies rumble

waiting for the alarm clock

both awake asleep.

Angels

 

Raising children can

try the patience of angels;

my wings need preening.

  • with a nod to Eddie Reader and an earworm.

Together alone

 

Me and my pizza,

the chef, waiter and bar girl;

empty restaurant.

Undone

 

Seventh to ground

breakfast and back to seventh

horror…flies undone!

Dicot Parkway

 

Platform 2, lillies

beam, while above the red kites

lazily patrol.

Chapel Porth

 

Salt in my hair and

white salt ringlets on my skin;

Summer sea swimming.

Emerald

 

After so many

years together, it feels good

to honour their day.
