I love to read your poems in the night
And see each sentence frame a new born thought.
I often am in darkness not in light,
Like yours my memories are hardly caught.
The cat sits in patient joy upon her chair
The fire glows golden red ,I watch the smoke.
And wonder why most older cats still stare
‘Their amber eyes a passionate warmth evoke
The washing gurgles in the old machine
When all my winter garments meet the soap.
Is this true life or am I but a dream?
In someone’s mind, perhaps, my image floats.
Nothing is so sure in life as is our death
Enjoy the alternations of your breath
I’ve heard of intrepid, like you,
But trepid alone I don’t do.
It sounds so conceited,
My tongue has got pleated
Trepidation feels like a left brain flu.
It depends on the context,I suppose.
Like weeing or picking one’s nose.
It depends who you’re near
And on your fear.
Be trepid and keep your eyes close.
When shame has fallen on me like a curse
And scarlet cheeks then decorate my face,
Of manners or real evil , which is worse;
Which casts a person out from once right place?
To disappear from life is all I wish
To hide myself beneath a beggar’s cloak.
To eat soup from a convent’s dish.
As in my own familial haunts they joke.
Guilt can be expiated and redeemed
But shame destroys the deepest source of self.
What helpful measures may now intervene,
Cover my shied face, restore my health?
Is it only I who see my plight?
Imagined laughter hides me from daylight.
