"random inaccess"



Letters describe a moment
where time stretches—
stairs growing longer
with each season,
yet the house doesn’t change.

Names slip—
spoken and lost,
like coins lost in a torn pocket—
clinking faintly in empty halls.

Mornings are misplaced,
slipped into tired afternoons.

The calendar lies blank,
scraped raw,
its edges powdered with erased plans.

empty nest

Stairs lengthen
with the seasons,
names slip like
coins in torn cloth.

A calendar lies scraped,
its edges powdered with absence.

Looking‑glass memory fogs,
reflections scatter into hollow rooms.
Between heartbeats—
quiet nestles within its cage.

Fight! Fight!

The magpies

nesting in the beech

began shouting

angry

to see a squirrel

in their tree

 

Attracted

like bad boys in the playground

more magpies

joined in

hopping from branch to branch

a harsh chatter

of anger

 

The squirrel

preferring a quiet life

 

left

by way of my garden

wall

 

 

 

Today the tree is silent
