Bloody massacre

slow hours, minutes and seconds

writhe in agony.

Mum used to do them

knowing nothing of football

stratospheric, preparing

to facilitate.

B.S.T.

 

Absent without leave

an hour wisely recovered

with a morning snooze.

Pretext

 

‘Yes I’ll do the shop’

great opportunity to

take some street art snaps.

Parent’s evening

.

Anxious walk to school

hearing truths from the half-truths

peddled back at home.

Rough sleeper

.

I don’t want to smell

no one wants to be smelly;

have you got two pounds?

  • Part of a longer conversation with a man that I met this morning. Expletives removed.

Hum

 

Intoxicating

flowering shrub resonates

with a host of bees.

Sorrow

 

Classical music

reaches the heart of a man

a solemn tonic.
