I walk out of the town pool into a grey dripping sky Rain on my shoulders doesn’t bother me – why would it? I’m wet I drive my car down a grey street, above which, the lights are still on, perhaps they are yet to acknowledge the sun is awake, lying behind its thick blanket […]
Tangled up and talking nonsense The minutes slip away Old friends Sore cheeks from laughter Warmth that fades, but only long after And the memory remains Until the next time Like a half moon smile We come around again Fade into the blue sky when the sunlight is brightest and times are busy But when […]
