Flight EZY6029

 

Airport musak calms

the nerves while children bicker

and slide on the floors.

Demob happy

All thoughts of work are

done. Holiday begins soon;

only two more sleeps.

New arrival

 

It came in the post.

Unspeakably excited;

Ericailcane.

Together

 

Forever enmeshed

our lives cannot be parted;

complementary.

Winter holiday

 

Anticipation

is too much to bear; skiing

in less than a week.

“Oh bondage up yours!”

resonates in my head. Ah,

those punk days. I smile.

Lazy Sunday

 

The Sunday roast is

in the oven; my tummy

rumbles hollow tunes.

Rural tag

 

Abandoned fossil

hunt; inclement weather, so

left my moniker.

Circumstance

Falling through the cracks

victims of austerity;

my head hangs in shame.

  • I sometimes struggle with the word victim, and the ‘victim culture’ that thrives during ‘shocks’ of all kinds. In this case I feel the word is valid.

Survivor

 

Forgotten gateway

to who knows where? neglected

and incongruous.
