48 sleeps

 

It’s the excitement

checking snow reports daily

skiing on my mind.

Star struck

 

As a young(ish) man

and she then a young woman

I pondered upon

possibilities beyond

my station. Out of my league.

Blitz

 

War-shattered buildings

stitched together combining

old and new. Bristol.

Life

 

If there’s a reason

then surely days like today

in part explain it.

Vagrant

 

Look beyond my eyes

my unsightly appearance

see the heart inside.

Miniature

 

Glass beads suspended

above a palm canopy

Jurassic woodland.

In passing

 

Snatched conversation

‘e do it before I do’

do what? I wonder.

Earned privilege

 

Between a dog walk

and shopping, I sneak a snooze;

Saturday PM.

Train 55

.

What kind of crazy?

The early train for London

a work-day birthday.

Street food

 

‘Cheelay flaykes?’ She asks

in her sweet foreign timbre

and it makes me smile.
