Seersucker

Soft blue sky
Warm winds breeze
Too enticing to leave
Time to plunge
To swim in Cleethorpes sea

Mother and daughter
Wet and wild and free
Twist their cotton garments
As my mother used to wring
The washing, back in 1963

Relinquish

Your hands on the wheels
My eyes slowly closed
Sat by your side

The aroma of warm rapeseed
Hits me in the instant
That we judder to a standstill

How then to let the eyes close again
Unable to trust my own instincts
Unsure of future cloudless skies

Inevitable Decay

The teenage boys have gone
The girls soon followed on
All that the parents can say
The young fathers are away too

All thats left here, in this place
Are the wasted-today cobwebs
Of King Coal’s once fortune zoo

Swollen

In that time
To fall for the fallen
Thus stolen our life
Simmered with fear

Fallen for the fallen
All pain forsaken
With the final chance
Unable to reappear
