the less certain I become
about anything;
a condition my young self
would struggle to understand.

from which all life emerges;
faintest hint of spring.

totally crashed out.

School rules
Hands out of pockets
walk no more than two abreast;
it wouldn’t wash now.

Under clean blue skies
the puppy and I share time
scouting the garden.

A delicious treat
time and space to contemplate;
a table for one.

It’s the hope that kills
and so it is every match;

In the night
when all is pitch black
they will come
baring teeth
stealing the dreams from children
and wreaking havoc

Waste paper basket
in the corner of the room
keeper of secrets.
