Begging to stop Pressure to the cooker Ready to implode One thousand miles The wrong direction Glance behind The drop of a stone Pines creaking Sturdy shaking Debris falling Sun blinding Earth quaking Rubble forming Tunnel stretching Way finding Turn-around Step after step Step after step Step after step. Airy breeze, scattered rays, awaking roots & salt sea spray.

We are our favourite flowers Steeped in a full vase Seasons pass - with the dipping water. We forget / or were not taught. To add our own flower food. To cut our own stems. To cultivate our own cuttings. Seek not to be crisp, divine, distinct For it is already apparent. Be it if you are fanned, variegated or needled voluptuous or diffident fresh or heartfelt Or just ****** herbaceous We are own favourites. We forget that to be in the vase was a choice For we can always resettle, reposition, repot, for the coming season.

Is a sin The small acts The things we try but can not do We forget ourselves We get lost in time I don’t know where the years went Or so the saying goes I look around and see families Children Friends less and less And more and more formally
