Fragrant Thoughts

I should buy myself flowers

To look at with a smile

Also that their scent fills the room

That I can think, even say

This is for you

You who need your own self-sensitisation

Bounce

Does one person

Letting go

Or giving up completely

On a once loving relationship

Break the connection irretrievably


Could not the remaining other

Say to not let go

To not give up

Instead to continue with the lover’s words

Knowing them now to be unrequited

Ownership

Another good day at the office

Wednesday morning workshops cancelled

For the significant future

Websites updated to proclaim

The new-found independent status

V Day

It is the 14th of February

I trust you know what this date means


I am in a lay-by

Waiting for a cheeseburger

From the roadside tender


I am listening to the radio

Interviews with florists

And restauranteurs


It is the 14th of February

I hope my note helps you to understand

Selfishicity

That we may know

Says little

Of our empathy

Or our understanding


The superficially we may show

Good grace and favour

Is only for our own

Wellbeing and purpose
