Narcissus 2
Care cant be put on hold. Its either there, or it aint. When we first met, you appeared so attentive and caring. I thought I’d met my prince charming. Mistook your questions for interest…we had so much in common. But you were harvesting pertinent information. Today you’re supposedly concerned about what I ate, though tomorrow you wont think about whether I even saw a plate. … Continue reading Narcissus 2
Bury me softly
You can almost touch the moment you realise whats going on. But not quite. That sensation of thoughts swirling around your head… Can’t join them all up. You know what it means, but can explain nothing. Suddenly it all starts to make abstract sense. Everything you tried to keep up with. To follow and make good. Like a dog denied a reward for the usual … Continue reading Bury me softly

Prudence
Life is a risky business. Any path can lead you to a dead end or might be paved with gold. I’ve always envied people without ambition or curiosity (as I feel it). Childhood friends who marry the guy or girl down the road and buy a house close enough to walk to their parents’ home…..and they do pop in….every day…just for a chat. They often go … Continue reading Prudence
