Newtown Creek
Invitation to stay
sparkling sunny morning
deep joy
warm sibling welcome
held with humour and care
deep joy
swimming, wine, talking
lives retold, reheard
deep joy
bread rice and gravy
1.50 and 3.05 games
deep joy
four years; too long?
not any more
deep deep joy

for my des from your dys

Day Off
Space, relief, sleep, slow
just what’s needed
gentle space, no pressure.
I’m not good with timetables

Process
To process with or after
that is a question
Is it better to do it after that
than to muddle it with that, perchance?
How much more do I remember
then and truly know, that at
the time to be confused?
If that is yours and then
that interjection is an interruption
is it time to point it out with
theory or with self – But yet
low, how I honour your process
but this is by knowing if it’s yours or but the process. Forsooth, my own I know not
but that it be mine not yours.
