He stayed there most nights
and imagined summers
the buzz of bees and lawnmowers
combining into a symphony
Poem : The Way
Sometimes you lose it
Find yourself in a back streets
counting nickels to give beggars
Stop to help strangers with directions
Poem: Moving On
Just yesterday it was filled with voices:
A warm laugh, a baby’s first cry,
a mother mourning a first born
left home for his own happy marriage.
Poem : Rapunzel
Square turrets
Open sky
Brick pieces
Jutting handholds
Shuttered windows
Anniversary
I couldn’t let the day go by without saying something about the bombings last year. I can’t believe they happened in the first place let alone that a year went by when 52 people were killed by bombs on buses and in the tubes. At 10 to 9 this morning, wreaths were layed at Kings Cross, Edgware Road, Russell Square and Liverpool Street. And a memorial will be tonight. It’s a sad day in London and across the UK.

We write our names across the sky
Willing them to the universe
Wishing on stars and blown out candles
For the one we want, are dreaming of
