My grandfather’s walking stick was the darkest brown, with pretty sunflowers dotted on it here and there. He hadn’t had it for long, but after the crash his legs became more wobbly.

You’ve lit my wick
our bodies in rhyme
nerve endings tick
You’ve lit my wick
blending blue hues, bite and lick
glorious moments in time
You’ve lit my wick
our bodies in rhyme

Their presence shrouds me softly;
when im weary from the day.
Parade of silvers sweep my soul
shaking sorrow
strikes of light patterns, sail by
my nose wrinkles as I smile
troubles melting away.

Grounded,
my feet a stone burden
melting minds

A yellowing button, just the one; each hole was once stitched to his favourite jacket. Which remained in the back of the old oak wardrobe, safe like an old tatty boat in the harbour.

when twilight embarks
seeking his soft voice
I pull you closer to my heart
when twilight embarks
steady and strong; your my spark
in your arms I rejoice
when twilight embarks
seeking his soft voice

Overgrown in the heart
watershed, tears bled
loss that tears you apart
Overgrown in the heart
I prayed for you, not to depart
oh how grief does spread
Overgrown in the heart
watershed, tears bled.

1993: The Crop Residues (Burning) Regulations 1993 came into force, effectively outlawing the burning of cereal straw and stubble in England and Wales except under narrow exemptions (such as disease control or disposing of broken bales)

Barely there
tho she can see faint shimmers.
On the other side of the glass,
across the lawn, silvery shapes
raise from the grass.
Her eyes marvel, magic melting.

Yayyy a banquet for me
scurrying between harvested fields
wheat, maize, sunflowers, barley; I spree
Yayyy a banquet for me
nibble, munch, crunch;with glee
autumn prepares my scrummy meals
Yayyy a banquet for me
scurrying between harvested fields

Feet fast, breath rapid, dashing
branches cracking underneath
blue winds upon my skin, thrashing
feet fast, breath rapid, dashing
white moon, forest breaks, flashing
I hear the screech, then vampire teeth
feet fast, breath rapid, dashing
branches cracking underneath

Creeping amongst the moss
the plump water bear (Tardigrade)
lives in extreme cold & hot
resilient, they slow walk shredding skin
taking the pressure, withstanding space
miracles of a tiny creature.

Forever cautious; of the new
it’s a daunting that always precedes
once it’s there; it dissipates
I wonder sometimes; is this a self preservation I like to keep.
