Interruption

One is company

two’s a crowd. Joined by colleague

on the London train.

A very British heatwave

 

Kitchen to garden

it’s like stepping off a plane

on your summer hols.

Nasty temper

 

Spiteful malicious

wasp takes aim at my forearm;

throbbing reminder.

Unhealthy burden of guilt

 

It is simply not

my responsibility;

it was my forebears.

 

My responsibility

is never to forget them.

Prisoner cell (phone)

 

I’m surgically

attached to my headset and

want to leave the call.

Canine capers

 

Evicerated

animals scatter the floor,

stuffing tumbleweed.

Coming back

 

Finding my mojo

is taking quite a long time,

I must nurture it.

Roe deer

 

Two innocent fawns

break cover in the lane, sweet

and vulnerable.

Cornish air

It’s the Cornish air

grandma used to say, that’s why

I sleep like a log.

Clearance

.

It isn’t easy

sifting through another’s life;

once loved, discarded.
