INK ON HIS FINGERS BETWEEN JELLY & PILLS

the
dying
old
mans
penmanship
was
obscene perfection

&
his intention
horrorshow confession

his heart 
gave out
on page 
800

~

the 
dying 
old 
man 
wrote 
a list of

WHO 

he would
take down 
with him

if he only could

his reasons clearly there 
in the
comprehensive
footnotes


~

the
dying
old
man
died

& the care home staff
search for their names

looking to score
in
their
longest
running
pool

TWO HEALTH POPS

      DYING LIGHT

      our soft pools
         cloud
       in
 the  unkillable crematorium autumn

     our tunnel mazes
       clog  
     in
       the
 carehome  winter

   ( all the plumbers have been deported )

  but our memories
      shine  brighter
  divorced from reason 
         from  their wild edges

 age drenches them in a rose coloured sun
      
       now 
    everything was  always     
         a
  widescreen  childhood summer

      SUSTAINED

   yesterday i felt a 3.5 out of 10

      today i am a 4

   i  hug my wife-elect
 i  squeeze our retired cat

       i  write down  
   w h a t e v e r
   i  can  think of
 watching the weather and the sun

 i pick a movie
     a book
   a spiral scratch 

 a slice of timed art is time out
a journeydream in other skin

  these Everyday Miracles = sustained

       tomorrow 
  i will be prob a 4 still

  or  maybe a 5.6 . . ?

  and  thats ok 
    today
