Poems
Jun 2023
15 Codswallop Court
Thought I heard a stream burbling
but realised it was a baby burbling
and the stream gurgling was in
my imagination,
these things
are sent to try us,
well
I've tried me for years and years
and I still don't fit into myself.
more imagination seems to be
the baby or the stream
that burbles or gurgles in me,
now,
I have to lie down and think about this
which saves me from doing anything else.
