erratically

erratically

bad dream erratically 

they were chasing Zelensky in his little car

he had been stabbed in the back

and the car was filling up with water

he also had a small blood-stained dagger 

not much air left

when i woke up

but i don’t think we have  

it might work

 it might work

the works ate them 

and they loved the heat 

in their bellies 

they talked of men

for they were the men

who worked the works

in the melt

they moulded each other

in the smoke they believed

they went home

to houses above the works

and looked down

from the slag tops

their thoughts tumbled down

bottomless 

it was

they thought

how heavy tomorrow is

yesterday underfoot

the horizon a brew steeping

sips is all we have

4am

 4am

ungodly hour

empty of thought

full of dread

shelved

corner turned down

in the book of life

question

how many more pages

before the end is revealed

it was light when i started reading 

as the sun went down

before soon said

another dawn

again the question

remained unanswered 

a couple of facts

 a couple of facts

a couple in love

teach other

how to love

each other

each other’s other

is not another

when a couple become

one another 

beware sometimes

 beware sometimes 

beware sometimes 

if you save a lizard

it’s tail might come off

then what are your left with

but the thought ingratitude 

basking in the sunshine

eyes sparkling

considering

 considering 

this transient journey of existence

‘stardust we were and stardust we will become’

insignificance is a big word to swallow 

everything isn’t everything 

nothing is

i do so enjoy star gazing 

on a dark night of the soul

remembering remembering

 remembering remembering 

however old i get

even to the day i die

i will still be younger

than the youngest warrior 

who gave his or her life for me

in the great wars
