In depths of silence, words lie trapped,
Like stones of thought, my mind ensnapped.
To speak, my voice finds no release,
Held captive by the fear of cease.
In this stifling air, I cannot thrive,
My spirit yearning to survive.
Like it
dislike it …
it is
what it is
If written
unsmitten
all fate
in the wind
Rising
or falling
the mixture
the same
True joy
in the
baking
—whose icing remains

(1st Book Of Prayers: December, 2023)
I dreamt of Anne bowling
I think it was supposed to be
Anne Boleyn,
but autocorrect poked its nose in
and that was that.

On the very first day,
I wore that white coat
for its true purpose
my father's cheeks were
wet with tears.
They fell despite his resistance
  for that year the rain had been too much
and the dam had been worn down by dreams
and the white coat was a beautiful rainbow.
By saying sorry you don’t change the past.
You change the future.
At least you try.

Someone close to me said, it isn’t worth saying sorry. What’s been said has been said.
It did hurt me hearing that.
