Poem


      Along the Glen

      I pick flowers
      from the tall hedge
      plonk them in a vase
      of cool water arrange
      them genetically
      look at them
      in the sunlight
      gleaming through
      my bedroom window
      the rest of the house
      a dark array
      spearing odd bits
      of light through
      the cracks in the
      ceiling

      Loneliness gives
      you lots to do.
