Undercover,
I rehearse the lines
that will take me to the stage;
character assassination
is not my thing,
but under the duvet
I will know
if it is Christmas
or not.
My fingers type
the words;
no hype,
just honest
to goodness
feelings.
Unlike,
in my fingers,
where I have none.
My brain
also
struggles
to keep the warmth
of creative thought alive;
but, there is a glimmer
from an unquenchable ember
that I have
deep in the heart of my being.
I was after a soft landing,
when I fell from on high;
I didn’t want to die,
in a painful way.
I prayed for a soft landing,
as I fell through the air;
I prayed for twenty mattresses,
arranged… just there.
Hamish was squeamish
about going to Dawlish
via Beamish;
he didn’t relish
the thought
at all…
so much so,
that he didn’t go,
he stayed at home in
little Fenwick Stead.

I had an idea
for a poem,
a wonderful poem,
better than all that I have ever written
before…
then I saw a hypothetical squirrel…
… and that poem was no more.
Who knows
what lies beneath,
lives on top,
or dwells within…
… Who is a very intelligent being…
Who knows so much.
