Our tummies rumble

waiting for the alarm clock

both awake asleep.

Angels

 

Raising children can

try the patience of angels;

my wings need preening.

Together alone

 

Me and my pizza,

the chef, waiter and bar girl;

empty restaurant.

Seventh to ground

breakfast and back to seventh

Salt in my hair and

white salt ringlets on my skin;

Summer sea swimming.

After so many

years together, it feels good

to honour their day.

One happy daughter;

new sounds and interesting

smells pervade my home.

City food

 

Wonderful smells drift

in and out of the street stalls

selling World cuisine.

Son

 

He will not know the

sadness I feel as I hug

him and wave goodbye.
