My granite heart is of molten rock
Washed water smooth, cooled by breath
Of reason. Do as you wish. I will
Not falter on my way. I lie
...
I laid an egg,
A tiny seed of possibility,
In my centre.
There it grew bloated
...
He said
- My bella luna,
You reflect my sun.
She sighed,
...
I went fishing last night and
Caught a great big bag of bones
that tinkled and tangled
Themselves up in my hair.
...
Slieve bends up the mountain we drove
through clouds and beyond all reason.
The air is thinner up here, my head
is lighter while my belly sinks away.
...
I dress you in shining armour, my
Scented scarf your red banner. Poised,
Joust in hand, steed at your heals. Ready.
The glint of a smile flashed from eye
...
Red jacket skirted beneath blue wellies
Walking the burn behind our house.
Stream trickles over smooth brown rocks
That crumble and roll from my feet.
...
You awake with the
alarm I do not hear. You
go to the kitchen.
...
Each time the mixing bowl is on the ledge,
You're here with me in my kitchen. Scent of
Sponge wafts from cold oven. I crack an egg
Then stir my mix. I tick in time far off
...
