31st March 2008

Disappointment pains,
Jinxed with another abscess;
Price of my big smile.

30th March 2008

Kneeling amongst shrubs,
Smell of earth in my nostrils,
Dirt under my nails.

29th March 2008

Man with prize courgette,
The solution to our lunch;
Kitchen cupboard bare.

28th March 2008

Following me home,
Responsibility as
Mother of parent.

27th March 2008

Lying prone, relaxed,
Age and flu taking their toll,
My care of Mum grows.

26th March 2008

Something in me twists,
Spiralling outwards again,
I dance through the day.

25th March 2008

Trusty companion's
Now shattered vision, reflecting
My broken landscape.

24th March 2008

With Marcy's free speech,
Race and religion compared;
We offer Dalston.

23rd March 2008

Loud, disconnected,
Unenlightened night, despite
Glow sticks to play with.

22nd March 2008

Washing up again,
My bodhisattva husband
Acts with compassion.

21st March 2008

Despite bitter wind,
Worms push daisies into light.
I hunger for bed.

20th March 2008

Ironing out its kinks,
Lost worm in knot; mission to
Save invertebrate.

19th March 2008

Seed enshrined in pink,
Like me, battered by the cold,
Its potential waits.

18th March 2008

Trip to corner shop -
Day and night local colour -
For a pint of milk.
