to the thick breath of heat,
a humid Sunday rising slow as regret.

Includes a view to the field
Here we are, looking through
Leaning on the window sill
It’s calm, the early dusk hour
My favorite time has come
I sense the smell o...

Sit across

No One Left to Remember

...Only three of us now who knew
both sets of our grandparents.
The three of us, 96, 94 and 88,
how much time have we left?
There are sepia photos from the
old, first Brownie cameras, a few
portra...

I Almost Tossed It Out

...I stood at the edge of the universe,
cradling a heart wrapped in twinkling lights,
an ornament for a tree
that never adorned my sitting room.
“What a quirky thing, this love,” I thought,
as you ...

The Tale of The House in Sounds

...The  CRUNCHING  of tyres on the gravelly driveway
The CLANG of the garden gate sharply closing
The CLICK of the key in the lock
The old door CREAKING open on its hinges
The SNAP of the light swit...

More Equal

...Just because we can’t concur
Doesn’t mean we can’t confer 
Yes, the world is in a mess
But that don’t make me Rudolph Hess

They state that soon in every street
There’ll be the stomp of booted ...

Pain hits hard

...My partner and I were never prepared,
for what the specialist doctor said, 
We hoped the chemo worked but dread,
to tell you that the cancer spread, 
Our palative nurse tried to dull the pain,

Secret Wedding

...They carried on in secret
pretending not to care
then organised the wedding
not one of the family were there
mum cried in the kitchen
the news was much to bear
dad had lost his temper
his choi...

No Nonsense

...
I read The Raven in its entirety,
I must admit it's kind of creepy.

If some big ol' bird with devil eyes
Came tap tap tapping to my sitting room,
I'd be leave leave leaving for the refuge

Summer Flowers

...Flower gardens in my neighborhood in full bloom
Lovely flowers freshened by the summer rain
Daisies, asters, hot poker with their scarlet plume
Flower gardens in my neighborhood in ful...

The Dandelion

...How large the dandelion bloom
in her neglected garden.

Her wizened face begs pardon
for the dust-encrusted sitting room.

Still, so much better than her tomb
to visit long after life has hard...

Ghosts of the Catskills

...I stand inside a ballroom that stretches long before me,
it is a sitting room right now, formal chairs and setees,
tall windows stretch ceiling to floor, twice as tall as a man,
with velvet drapes...

Cat On the Zoom

...All the way from my sitting room
I can hear my calico talking on Zoom,
Seems she’s looking for someone to exhume
Remains of a ratty old, worn-out broom.
I buried it because it smelled...
