she left behind
a slice of lemon cake
and the echo of laughter

I can feel a migraine coming on. My chest is tight, my lower jaw aches, and the air scrapes the inside of my nose as I breathe. I wonder why they call it a headache?

Alchemy

this precious evening
the setting sun has started
to turn the grass to gold

Calligraphic

in a cotton wool sky

front paws kneading rhythmically,
massaging my favourite jumper
to death.

A blackbird swoops low in front of my car, playing chicken.
