Ends Begin

The confusion grows apace

Warm blood flows more freely

As fast as the old fires are doused

New flames flicker and grow

Owned Voice

The energy for words

Superficial I says no

Inner I says rejoice

Some place between

A party & a wake

Places to settle

Room 29

His text message wakes me
Unusual for him to be unsure
Yet I do know that attribute
To be deeply embedded
In the family genes

Unusual too that he should ask me
To meet his friend, to go for lunch

Where does the guy who waits tables live
In this upbeat town of mobile high achievers
Where too the Pacamac clad cheerful youth
Who talks to himself as he gathers the litter

In the picture there is not one physical soul
The yellow orange sky cast shadows on peaks
The sea is more energetic than at peace
Its soul being some place deep embedded

Pizza with spring duck topping

Finest draught Peroni

The music is a bit ropey

But there is football on TV

& I am reminded

Of the seaside bar in St Ives

With Kate

Crossword

Close fitted, bespoke

A good cloth

Stretched across

A sound back

But what of his mind

Head bowed as it is

Silver grey hair

Weight of wisdom

Yesterday, in his Bermuda shorts

With the blonde haired girl from Virginia

They climbed the steps to the Buddhist temple

But today it is his, yours, and my, Monday
