31st August 2007

Pickle on my lap,
While I make Tony a tail,
For self-expression.

30th August 2007

Dogs race in circles,
Around straw bales on the marsh,
Sitting pert like breasts.

29th August 2007

Wash up and brush teeth,
Make porridge and feed the birds,
Clear internal space.

28th August 2007

Micro Burning Man
Plays out with intensity,
And flaming chaos.

27th August 2007

Glimpse of country world -
Diaspora from city
Sleep on grass with bugs.

26th August 2007

Family-friendly
Participation and play,
Unleashes music.

25th August 2007

Baby James is wet,
Enjoying bath, water, skin;
Learning while we watch.

24th August 2007

Picking blackberries,
Yvonne shows me how to live,
I taste and follow.

23rd August 2007

Rain pours from grey sky,
Inside I wear shower cap,
Longing for sunshine.

22nd August 2007

I sluice warm water,
Over folds of well worn flesh;
Now child scrubs parent.

21st August 2007

Girls bring round Barbie,
For social pleasures before
Her final send off.

20th August 2007

Walking, thinking time,
A vague unease surfaces,
Something is missing.

19th August 2007

After cage-free night,
Crystal and I, exhausted,
Choose to snooze at home.

18th August 2007

We old dears watch as
Two young deer bend to nibble
Our gift of apple.
