My soul’s present condition:
Accident waiting to happen

Snow
Christmas
bridal gown
rare and pure
reality suspended
deep beneath

Snow
clean white
linen cloth
covering
a stained table
superficially pleasing

Snow
a fresh shroud
over a body
stiff with cold
frosted ground
crisp and even

Snow
rippled like sorbet
cleansing
refreshing
but always
just water

Old Gent,
shoes immaculately bright,
walking in bursts of 5 yards,
shirt un-ironed
by her hand
long since
and a gravy stained tie
knotted modestly,
he found a smile
to light my day
and made me think

Tired on the train
I listen
A young mother on her mobile
solemn faced but beautiful eyed
angrily confronts
her daughters father
with a maternal mantra
How do I tell her
When I have all her tears and questions?
I guess he keeps hanging-up
or the signal is lost
The words repeat
almost verbatim
and repeat
and repeat
No-one looks
everyone listens
And then in the vestibule
a smiling South African
recounts with passion
about the Jacaranda
turning Cape Town purple
around this time of year
...he missed his stop

I find
some eyes
shine innocent
naive with
camera love
unconscious gaze
that gives
warmth back
not the
pouting posing
dead eyed
child woman
making mock
of what
she thinks
the world
wants of
her
high gloss
no warmth
gangster prankster
doll
magazine
cover lover

My soul’s present condition:
Fits and Starts

The cynic
sees rain coming
The optimist smiles
at the chance of
a rainbow
maybe
Sitting on the edge of a cloud
dry and expectant
across the street it's raining
