Life and Everything in Between

pushing himself on the soft leather
shaped by his years

They hide somewhere,
Somewhere in the light,
Somewhere beyond sight.

Kept in the draw...

Still life

Flicking my sun over to a moon, like in a child’s picture.
And you make it cold. I need a blanket made of foil.

At sixty of age in a squalid barn
So rich that he could not feed his home
His colleagues outshined to beat their glome
He helped his men to mend their mout...
