I’ve had to remind my mind
to be mindful, to be mindful.
I’m not sure that amongst
the mind games and mind
numbing routine that I
have always kept this in mind.
In February my challenge
is to read and escape
from the world because
paying attention to mine
might blow my mind.

My day started fighting an invisible foe
Then I fought to stay awake and failed
I battled piles of laundry and dishes
With help from machines I surged ahead
Until next Sunday when the war starts again.

Love Idol

He will be one:
Who’ll comb my hair
Wipe my tears
Hug me to halt
My shakes of
Anger, frustration and fear.
Sure we’ll fight
And his words may sting
But he’ll kiss them away
For ever and a day.

Now, how do I find him?

It begins with a tingle
then an irritating itch,
the pressure builds
and layers
brick
upon
brick
of force.
In some this is expelled
in one large gust of air,
but in me it comes in
tiny jets, just like the
puffs of air from the
glaucoma test machine.
My sneezes leave
me exhausted.

Made
Paper Monsters
Today.
OT education
Or adult play?
You decide
Analyse away!

Asking for time out

without time out

in which to ask.

I sit
drenched
in my thoughts
They flood me.

Prey

Whilst driving to work it swooped
into my vision, wings spread,
talons ready to dig in,
scoop something away
for dinner.
Even though he doesn’t have
a tin opener, I duck!

Tempting Fate

Last time was the washing machine

This time was spiders

I think we should keep

our mouths shut

or wish to win the lottery!

The chill returns,
like the monster
in a film
you think has died.
Both after your bones.
