Walking Journal




WEDNESDAY

The first day
I’m poised
soft meets
      hard meets
soft sprung step

and slow walk greet
      fights wins

so down back fired and side till up

This first day flames
my thinking words


THURSDAY

on the gauntlet
 hard meets soft
 icebreak haze of insect sound
soft meets hard
gives way to monstrous cars

FRIDAY

overheard outside a shop:
If only we could bargain by analogy
and hard heart turns to softer tone
with music of stranger sapience

SATURDAY

Shifting house twelve hours
resolve to last the day was hard
and words used to salve her smile
smoothed the burn within my body soft
SUNDAY

Shifting house twelve hours
what’s left of soft approach and patience now
in the hard thrall sweat of man at work?

MONDAY

the lass gathers soft sweet words on bed with Mum
the lad bounds up and springs a smile
routines once hardrushed
dissolve to moves of sweet repose
