Focus on the writing

Focus on the writing

Turn the words

Into a complication

Or a resolution


Look for your way

Of destabilising

Or sensitising

Your avoidance


Swear if it suits

Fuck is a good word

Also

Not a bad thing to do


As long as

Love leads the way

Yes, be sure that love

Sets you up for the explosion

Fridays come around

 Fridays come around

More quickly now

It’s been an ok week

Three writing groups

A trip to the shops

And the commencement

Of a BSc degree

In Psychology

And counselling


A time to begin

Judgement and commentary

Having already determined

That I prefer

The Humanities approach

Over the scientific method

But I will hold my powder dry

Listen and explore

Having the one axiom

Not to jump to conclusions

Just a few words

Just a few words

It is Saturday after all


The Christmas lights

Have been taken down


The parking fine

Has been paid


Breakfast was

Bacon, toast and tomatoes

With black coffee


Today I will tidy

Iron the bedding


Put away the shoes

Wash the dishes


Or at least a fair selection

From the above

New year’s day 2024

New year’s day 2024

In Meadowhall

On my way to Sheffield Wednesday


Marks & Spencer is closed

Also the Prosecco bar

Which has the best coffee in town


Instead it’s Starbucks

Opposite Millie’s Cookies

In this my 72nd year

In this my 72nd year

For the first time

I worry not


About spending Christmas

Alone, or New Year’s Eve

Spent in solitude


I have had many

Celebrations

And expect there to be more


Life is not a problem

It is a beautiful place

Thoughts are illusory


Who is aware

That I am thinking

Or of the depths of my thoughts
