I love the tight middle
partings
have always worn
them like to feel
my brain's alert
at times it almost
hurts the head
to be in tension
see how I clench
my fists in unison
I love the neat control
of hair
in middle partings

Exploratory
as children
that's how
we considered
the rocky shoreline
where we lived
a small range
of mountains
further inland
the forest
clambering up
its lower slopes
we spoke two
languages
you and I kissed
and called each
other "cariad"
listening to Bach
years later exploring

Main Ingredients I scramble desperately Through the last few scraps At the back of the cabinets Certain there must be something Still left in my cupboard, Some scrap of joy? Or are we all out? I'd gladly take contentment. You can substitute it in the recipe If you don't mind being creative. Or fleeting happiness, even, Any of that left? A taste? A tablespoon? A crumb? Well. I'll add them to the shopping list If they ever come off back order. For now all I'm finding, At the back The hardest spot to reach Is all that Pandora had left When she slammed the lid On the box she's always blamed for opening. (Who put the rest of that nonsense In an unlocked box anyway? Without a warning label?) But anyway. I guess I need to find out now: What can we make with hope?

Different
Would it be different,
if #knowledge was possessed?
Would it #mean anything,
if power had been accessed?
Would that shift the ending,
if time hadn’t been abused?
Unknown,
Can’t know,
too painful to consider.
