I am almost at the end

I am almost at the end

Of this small notebook

A book which I have lost

Oh so so many times


Just as I left or lost

At least three relationships

Somewhere where, like now

I was busy doing something else


The future is unknown

Will I meet another

Is that a part of my journey

Who am I to know that


I write, but perhaps I ought

To draw or paint

Yes, at least one big canvas

As someone once said I should

High and low

High and low

Nowhere to go

Also no place to stay


But, put a face on

One on one

Is not the end at all


Don’t fall for the curious

Or the jealously insane

Reframe the positions


Take risk endowed decisions

Rearrange where you can

Exchange jealousy for trust


Take belief from rust

Wake up to the sunrise

Take a last look at the moon

Back in Café Rizzotti

Back in Café Rizzotti

For Americano (black)

And carrot cake (with cream)


A day when I feel inclined

To spend freely

Though no way can I afford to


But it’s been my way hasn't it

For the whole of this life

Way too late to change now


It sure was sumptuous

As where you, or

So my memory tells me

Fresh berry drink

Fresh berry drink

For lunch

Sat in the car

In the petrol station

Car park

Listening to Radio 5 live

Management skills

And latest news

Including Jim Ratcliffe’s

Purchase

Of twenty-five percent

Of Manchester United

Today’s my birthday

Today’s my birthday

Lunch at the café in the woods

I am all in mustard yellow

Beneath my Shetland coat


We both have the lamb

And neither of us

Bother with a starter

Though the prawn cocktail looks good
