Leg Walking

...I walked with my legs
straight into nightmares
never saw another person 
coming up the stairs

lived from a rucksack
slept in the tree ...

The Shed

...The Shed
...was Granddad's before he died.
And now its loneliness reached out to the boy
from the shaded, shuffling shadows 
that shushed the sheltered garden.
They pulled, they tugged at his gu...

Uni and a Rucksack

...Hopped the uni with my rucksack;
speeding off to make a new track
with the tools that one might need to hack a trail.

while remembering Marilyn i...

Tuesday Class

...Tuesday lasses
we all have classes
get up and go
there’s no time to waste
join the flow
there’s no reason to wait
everyone’s hustling
coffee guzzling
bus shuttling

The Tabaco Tin Knife

...Dad could have left but he stayed put,
and he kept his lips locked,
though a hissing cat
escaped from his hie throat occasionally.
Mother would say stuff,
poisonous stuff
stuff that would make ...

Walking By the Lake

...Such a good day for a walk
here in my favourite countryside
many times walked this pathway
blessed memories in my mind confined

All set with a rucksack on my back
walking boots fitting my size...

I Let It Slip Away

...I let it slip away.
With every fleeting day,

From job to job he, never heeding his tomorrows day
Simply didn't give a damn, let...
