DO YOU THO ?

i give afternoon tv

all the progress

the mornings fresh air 

gave me

it fills the spaces
i cant look at

with stories 

i wont believe

& while i grant it
credit & thanks

i know its a tool box
& never a church

COLD & NAKED WERE YOU THERE ?

those hymns
& odd songs
we
sang
at
school

i hear them still
in the smell of mowed grass

~

& the spaces between
the liminal sheds
source essential ballast
from the tender stash
of
the child-minds
soft chaos
braving school
