Time

Tunnels in the sand

It slips through our hands
Making tunnels in the sand
Like children digging
Clawing closer and closer,
Fingers touching underground.

Waiting

"Please hold, don't hang up.
Your call's important to us.
Visit our website.
Sorry to keep you waiting
If it's an emergency."

Amanda Briggs

Ophelia Grown Old

I will be happy
Now. I'll task myself to spend
Cold gardening years
Cultivating joy. The trick
Is to care, but not too much.

Diana Reed

Runaway Timing

Runaway timing
Slides down glassy container
Doesn't stick to the sides
Flowing freely to the end
To stay still as soundless clock.

Keith

Woking FC

Ghosts of past heroes,
Chapple, Walker, Buzaglo
Linger at Kingfield.
West Brom, Coventry, Wembley,
Never forget; always hope.

Stanley Road

Search for a steam train
On the street where Weller lived;
That's entertainment?
Nothing left of his old house
In a town he called malice
