the hotel plays
'My Generation'
over breakfast
a couple round about my age
complain about the noise

Focus

"...we began seeing one another..." he said, and I thought of people going about their daily routine, exchanging a brief smile with a shop assistant, half noticing passers-by in the street, glancing at work colleagues on the way to their desks, all in a blur of humanity. And then one day something shifts, eye contact is made, and someone comes into clearer focus.

approaching autumn
in this morning's post a note
from the optician

what they're looking for -

Learning not to swim

I'm all at sea but that's ok
it's not that I am not at home
it's good to swim then turn and float
between the water and the air
and feel the surface like a skin.

If I should dream of hot, dry land
it's not that I would wish to walk
or run or dance but only
lap against the shore and feel
it's marvellous, alien permanence.

keep on swinging
from hope to hope
it's a circus
but hey,
you're still flying

coming in to land
the plane is
perfect
but everything
below has crashed

strange rooms
and forking paths
in my dreams
I deliberately
lose myself

maybe we live
to dream
and eternity is spun
from the dream worlds
we have made
some insights
can only be expressed
by a splash
of orange
against green
