Stroke of Midnight
StandardAt the stroke of midnight, where will you be –
Asleep in your bed, afloat on the sea?
At the stroke of midnight, will you think of me –
Adrift in my bed, heart a roiling sea?
At the stroke of midnight, then shall we be
as oceans merging, hearts unmoored and free?
Madness
StandardWringing out the brain,
to spite the page beneath it —
a daily madness.

Stone
StandardI am among stone –
soft voices of ancestors
murmur in my blood.
ShutUp30.15: Neighbourhood Lane
StandardWrite about your childhood home
When I awake to
light which scarce struggles through cloud,
I know I am home
