Packing up
Sweeping up the dust
and emptying it into boxes
alongside trophies and wedding pictures,

Hagrid the horrible, II
When you’re not lying there like a wet black noodle,
you’re bouncing about like pink French poodle
or you’re staring up with those big, sad eyes…
How long will it take until you realize
that we weren’t put here just for you –

Collection
Toys for tots and baseball cards,
broken hearts and battle scars,
wedding rings and sordid trysts,
abandoned dreams and bucket lists.

grows roots and reaches for the heavens,
swells with knowledge,

tea and biscuits,
dinner and a movie,

thunder.
Gravel
The sound of pebbles
embracing and wishing to
be mountains once more.
