Hector wears his leaves
in midsummer morning
paired with tangled tails, harsh with knots
while the kitten, bored and yawning
sits demurely
The ball begins to unwind again
and I’ll admit my voice was reproachful
I saw the sunlit bonfire overhead and
turned my heart as if to say
I’m glad to help if only I might
gently touch
a perfect impression of you
and your red eyes darting sideways
In this peculiar space
your brightness fades
and quietly you said to yourself
‘I couldn’t make you tidy’
This old dame will outlast the seasons
and Nature, affected
staggers aside,
blunders
A shadow deep beneath
a ruined pile
thought that it should be
dead by now
I put out my hands and
wicked tears fell like rain
I gave a kiss to make it understand and touched something else,
tho it flew away too fast for me
to see distinctly, in the darkness
It told me
‘I am here’

Angels
A feather,
A coin,
A beautiful cloud.
To let you know,
You're not alone,
And they stand proud.

"New Year, new you" she said as she took off her old one and put on a brave new face. This one hid the bruises but not the tears in her eyes

Life can sometimes get bitter-
It feels like there's no going back,
But if the knife ain't gonna slit her
She'll still take her coffee black

Eve's crime was not biting the apple, but accepting the idea that she was to blame for man's fall.
That, in my experience, was inevitable.

The wind and rain are battering your window, and all you can think about is your 13 year old self, and how the watermark was up to your neck

One often 'as problems sleepin'
In ways which affect ones 'ealth
But 'ow can one deal wit 'out but weepin'
When one 'as a fear of their self
