Overheard
It is late, or early, The breakfast tea is cool as my ear Against an angry door, Time drips, stealthy floods weep A tuneless apology The percussive rasp of a hasp And a bolting aria, bruises Soft treads, do not linger Silence begs to leave with you It seems we are Out of time, inContinue reading “Overheard”

Roses are dead, and the violets are too, half price at the garage I bought just for you There’s no need to thank me, stop crying, it’s fine, There’s more gifts in the bag, No, I didn’t get wine But Lucozade’s nearly as good as champagne Don’t you agree?

Heist the Buller
It was a matter of fact, not opinion, that this was not going at all well. They were now half an hour into the job and still no closer to the prize. Starmy wiped drips from his brow, chucking down the industrial saw in anger. “It’s no good, he huffed. This outer layer looks likeContinue reading “Heist the Buller”
