as a child once,
to a favoured toy,
countless hours
of pristine joy;
but specifications of
'all growed-up' ploy,
memories of past pleasures,

thoughts gather dust
on a forgotten shelf
in a rusty padlocked
            cellar

bottled up in hand-
washed jam jars ●
words, once pixie
-dust reveries, fly
          no more*
