Present Tense

In spring will I walk upon The Green

For all I’ve done so far is to rearrange the furniture

In springtime will I miss you more

Or is that another wistful wilful prediction


I was playing a brain training game

Having halfway sorted the sitting room

Why do I talk to the computer

Showing frustration at my own ineptitude


I only have my old memories

I must make some new ones

The past places have all gathered dust

I need to find somewhere shiny


In dream time or just before

I read a little of a lover’s love

For the book that she has found

For the story which she feels destined to tell
