Friday 24th May

HILLS OF THE NORTH REJOICE:

This is the legend of Magic Bob,
The diamond boy,
A bone from the book,
A messenger,
Caller,
Fixer,
Turns on the light when I’m in pieces

GRIT TO SKY:

The city was unusually quiet today,
People moved like chess pieces,
Queen to socks,
Rook to toothpaste,
Pawn to sunblock,
Bishop to almond cake,
And Lady Grey

TINY GATEWAY:

The swimmer talks with a fast mouth,
About numbers,
And people in water,
To his rainbow wife,
Who slaps her leg habitually as she speaks,
It has nothing to do with anything,
As mashed avocado arrives,
“I lost my stride”,
She said,
Selecting silver weapons,
From a gleaming selection,
Delivered with efficiency
In a dance of Black & White

CAGED AIR:

You set the alarm off last night,
I woke to the sound of laughter,
Everything is better than I thought it would be,
Two dogs in the kitchen,
The smell of bacon memories,
Holidays in caravans by the sea,
One for you and one for me
