From “Suddenly Awake”
You stood naked
While you waited…..
And while you ached inside
You washed yourself and dried
And found somewhere to hide
The towel and the nightdress
From “Stress”
Thoughts jump in panic
Heart beat quickens
But outwardly the body
Repeats expected tasks
And soldiers on
….Words plucked from ends of nerves
whistle round and through
never touching, never uttered
By the outward senses….
From “Circles”
….And yes, I love the life that I have now
But not the speed with which it seems to go
Without me even moving, doing nothing, day by day
The world that spins ignores me, as if it doesn’t know
