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.

Daydream ski

 

The steep sweet meadows

now clad in deep mountain snow

softly summon me.
