Sunday

01/06/2025 C and K WordsLeave a comment

remnants of plunger coffee
the washing and dryer blues
empty pegs on the clothesline

the moments of reflection
a longing for the rain clouds
this land cries out in the drought

burnt by the sun in winter
a fleeting glimpse of freedom
the sun makes way for the frost

Another Day

under the full moon
not wanting to say goodbye
on that final day
doing deals with the divine
soul sale for another day

the esteemed image
coat hanger runway models
skin is the new cool

the reality
a vision in a spud sack
thongs flip-pity flap

a wrinkly breast on a board

Real Estate Agents

The agent calls again.
The purchaser is waiting for the contract & section 32
We have, oh wai-

The line goes silent.
A call from the same number leads you to the coffee cup
He’s ready to grump

Good aft-, oh, good mor-
A glitch in your thought patterns
“I’m having tech issues!”

Big Law

the pristine keyboards
Everything has a price tag
rows of offices

people of import
Obviously, there is tea
proper posh tweed suits

type six-minute increments
focused on the clock
No time for the love of life

word-wise predators
dark humour in the corners
Destroying young lives

For Cats

a frosted windscreen
toxic thoughts are lingering
playing memories
the coffee cups are calling
this world is made for the cats

My Selkie

24/05/202522/05/2025 C and K WordsLeave a comment

in the land of boys
I was a wild mountain cat
a taste for rabbits

the loch was my tap
thick forest became a bed
then her sea call came

o’er the green mountains
small to some, yet large to me
carried by her call

her call a music
my Selkie longs for a kiss
returning to man

Best Friend

23/05/202522/05/2025 C and K WordsLeave a comment

a brown bear dying
uncomfortable knowledge
within those soft eyes

two lifeless lovers
fur paws touching in the snow
for the love of one

movement from below
a whimper to the heavens
meeting my best friend
