As sole carer


He’d had
No more choice
Than the rain does
Or wild geese migrating
And hadn’t slept easy in weeks.
Kept dreaming
Bizarre ends
For the human race.

Saw forests gulp down
Whole housing estates

Heard wolves come back

Saw stars again

Imagined
Walking through a silence
That never ends.

    1. Could and should have been in A Dream Net.
      Ah well off to the publishers
      Many more from your pen we hope
      Yes loads more I’m sure, if not a bet.
