I will run at my pace
I’m not in a race

Shifting through layers
Trying to find her lost child
To see for herself the transformation

FLICKER (for Meggie Gultiano)
A flicker of hope
And darknesss has lost

He was a stallion
A big black horse, I was
Astride his back, muscular, bare
Hanging on to mere tufts

There they were
Up there!
East West North South
...
I hope it’s still far away
That day
When I will stare blankly at a page
Empty, waiting
...

(inspired by the poem 'Overcome' by Jasmin Whyte)
When was the last time I witnessed the dawn
when I was actually there to feel it enter my skin
