31st May 2007

Unkind death fells life,
It is a fox eat bird world,
Harsh truth of nature.

30th May 2007

Mum anchored to me,
We totter slow together,
Rocking on sea legs.

29th May 2007

Deprived of walking,
Instead I taxi Dexter,
Ready for take-off.

28th May 2007

Dancing to get warm,
Records spin to stir my blood,
My limbs lift me up.

27th May 2007

Sluicing the gutter,
Exposed to the elements,
Feet complain at cold.

26th May 2007

We slurp noodle soups;
Quick hot food after rain chill,
Tony's specs steam up.

25th May 2007

Languid afternoon,
My legs slide onto the bed,
Endless tasks will wait.

24th May 2007

My former lover,
Reminds me who I am now -
Sane and exploring.

23rd May 2007

Cradled on doorstep;
Loyalty split with foxes,
Joint territories.

22nd May 2007

Noxious brown liquid
From creosote bitter herbs,
Swallowed to bring hope.

21st May 2007

Ultra sensitive,
Requiring diligent care,
In safe hands at last.

20th May 2007

Sat in mountain pose,
Last sun on the balcony,
Connecting inside.

19th May 2007

Happy house moment,
Light streams in 'one bright morning',
Tapping into joy.

18th May 2007

Miraculous boy,
Skips polyrhythmic like dad,
Dancing with no shame.

17th May 2007

Our genes mean we share
Lolloping gait, big feet, and
Need gravity boots.

16th May 2007

Lungs suck moist air deep,
Batteries start to recharge,
Nature multiplies.

15th May 2007

Walking in the rain,
We meet painted upset girl,
And find injured coot.

14th May 2007

Eyes wide, printed frock,
I dither over bargain,
Flea market regret.

13th May 2007

Feet go no further,
But take me upstairs to bed,
For a siesta.

12th May 2007

Bizarre group poses,
Under shade made by Eiffel,
Tourist spectacle.

11th May 2007

Infinite staircase,
Leads to our crumbling attic,
In cheapest abode.

10th May 2007

Garlic medicine,
Internal and external,
Desperate measures.

9th May 2007

Celebration food,
Marks eleven years sharing
Life's myriad tastes.

8th May 2007

Abandoning clothes,
I retreat under duvet,
Submerged by fatigue.

7th May 2007

Media junkies,
Scan magazines together,
Dad imparts rock tips.

6th May 2007

Tony and I play,
With changing identities,
Conceal and reveal.

5th May 2007

Miles of organza,
Gathers into fantasy,
Floaty pink tutu.

4th May 2007

Sam and I reflect
Colourful details like two
Birds of paradise.

3rd May 2007

From a former age,
Systems govern Mum's hankies,
Dishcloths and girdles.

2nd May 2007

Disguised as Bo Peep,
One white 'sheep' and floppy hat;
Wind thick with pollen.

1st May 2007

From inside my self,
Back to your self through sorrow,
Our truths reconnect.
