The  optician also takes wax out  people’s ears  but it does no harm and  we all have our neuroses.He makes candles out of it so he says

I saw my father running after the bus

We saw the trolley bus, small, like a child’s toy
Passing the bottom of our street
Once we went out on that bus to a park
Coming back,I was sitting at the front
Four years old
 watched them all get off
But I stayed still; as the bus moved off
I saw my father running after  us
He was shouting, but they went to the next stop
I felt no emotion except interest.He got me

The houses up the top had faces watching us
They were at an angle 
The geometry was  not simple
There was the back street we went on to school
 My brothers left me,I was running
A bicycle boy rode   over me
Nobody came
I was five years old

He lived on  a steep hill, my 6 year old boyfriend
He had  lovely  red hair
He let  me ride his tricycle
He had to catch me  before I hit Wigan Road
Which was  busy by the standards of the time
I was not afraid.He was under my thumb
I was six years old

When the cat has screamed

 

 

 

cats on sofa (1)I

I see I’m very smartly dressed today
My jumper’s striped in black and clotted  cream
I have  a  black skirt with embroidery

This outfit was not planned in anyway
I got dressed in  the bathroom,  the cat screamed!
I see I’m very smartly dressed today

The skirt is from a pricey place’s sale
The jumper ‘s M and S, is that obscene?
I have  a  black skirt with embroidery

The opthalmologist admired my taste
I seem to dress just like our much loved Queen
 I see I’m very smartly dressed today

I feel  so happy , that   is no  disgrace
From  my chair I see the sun’s gold beams
I have  a  black skirt , flowers in their place

I used to wear a T shirt and old jeans
When I was teaching maths  and  losing dreams
I see I’m very smartly dressed  again
I  have  a  black skirt  on, is that depraved?

 

To hear your voice

img_20191122_203051

The music

of

your voice

I shall never hear.

I shall never

play a duo with you.

Would we harmonize?

Or find some compromise?

Does one need to hear

the sound of someone's heart,

transposed into verbal music..

Or can we manage without it?

Ideolect

Sociolect.

Circumspect?

Words reveal the lost soul.

But not the whole story.

Play it again

But this time

Speak it.

I want to hear the music

Of you.

Meditating over the dale’s edge

short-eared durham owl
meditating over the dale’s edge,
shadows the fields and folds
in elegant diurnal flight.
on wind-side,careful sight,
may swoop to prey
and away.

your yellow broad-eyed look,
at once both sharp and distant,
holds me.
oh,silence,
oh,wind on green,
oh,earth,
sky.

immense your held vision,
sphere without center,
pied geometer of flight,
oh, swift descent and ascent.
trees bunched by dry stone wall
call heart home

So you don’t like J C ?

“You like his policies. You want railways and other utilities back in public hands. You don’t see why foreign-based state-owned rail companies should be taking profits from our subsidised rail system. You want to see our Health Service properly funded. You don’t want to see it sold off in a trade deal with the Americans. You don’t want to see our nurses using food banks. You think that corporations that use our infrastructure should be properly taxed. You are against tax havens and tax cuts for the rich. You are fed up with foreign wars.

But you don’t like Jeremy Corbyn.” End of quote
