font springing from
the depths of a shallow pool

boiling with fervor
under glass-still surface

with effort i see i can see
through my own reflection

golden-bedrock streambed
red sand flowing downstream

and i know that this river
and my life are forever one
the sticky stuff arrived yesterday

no one read the instructions

i dunno

stuck on my fingers

very well along with

the splinter from the hedge

before

soap and hot water removed

it alongside

other things

that are more topical

at present

they say that the statue

should have been removed before

well they done it now

this weekend and chucked it in the

water

they say is should be in a museum

well it will be now

when they haul it out the

water

the grass is cut down the lane

and

makes a good photo james

all those line and patterns

it was a good walk

she has cut her hair

with clippers now

and says mine can

soon be tied back

james

i no longer look like

joan of arc

except inside myself

to myself

am cutting the jasmine back

i have learned it will still

flower lovely

later

do you ever imagine people sitting in trees?

If you struggle with yourself
But manage to make art with it,
I will find you
and insist you are a masterpiece.

The only time I didn’t like being me is
when I wasn’t really being me
Mrs Timetable Aug 2020
Lend me your eyes
And I will lend you my ears

For you
I can shed your tears

For me
You can whisper away my fears
For better or worse
