..day 22..

..day 22..

sometimes like this morning

i findy rusty stuff down the

end

 

i pick it up, line it up in the

shed or elsewhere

 

i like to think of the work

of the ingenuity of the

maker

 

those that are gone

and maybe i have a

photograph

 

him by the woodshed

her in the drive

 

given things

 

i looked for the geese

maybe they were earlier

today

 

maybe they will find a cure

or something to stop  it

 

it is not a living thing

just an entity

they say

i say james

 

i found what to do

with all the stuff

i made it a box

 

only lorries on the road now

. day 21 supplemental.

we like the little foxes

their pointy noses…… we look at the newborn lambs see the market lorries and wonder…..

..day 21..

..day 21..

no one interacts much with me here
& i am just fine with it that as i have
said before

i also draw & write most days sometimes
hope for a lazy day which never happens
so we carry on
&
what to do with all this stuff is a good
question

to which i have no answer

at present they piles up neatly until i
find a suitable box for storage

i like particular boxes
quite partcular i am

there is a new one
small in the middle
of the floor now

you see it reminds
me of the visit to
that house by the mill
where there is a box
to stand on to be able
to see the mountain
behind

i cannot go now
he says it is a
connection thing

she said it was odd

yet mostly folk leave me
alone here

and that is fine

today i forgot the number
and had to check again

 

.. really, oh really ..

what some folk feel is right

others consider wrong, some

write with the music

a few fail, falter

without much to live on

no one to care for them

 

some say this is not fair,             yet

i find that fair does not even figure

 

this life you gets what you gets

and feels how you choose to

after

dealing

 

however the dice fall

the cards come out

 

this may be your heaven

here on earth

 

if you like

if that is the way to think

 

really, oh really.

 

.. day 20 ..

..day 20..

i rang her yesterday
we laughed at how the years had passed

she said that her and her husband were
like two old folk with sticks to walk with

except they don’t have any sticks

james, i have had a form laying here for
weeks

the truth project and when it rained
i done it quick

handwriting and the ink was smudgy
it all came out the nib
the truth of it so
i stuffed it in the envelope quick and
sealed it

realised i cannot go to post it
so will ask the delivery man

i thought that today i will reopen it
to read through and type up carefully
for the record here
without alteration

i thinks i wrote it like the child i was
james

i saw a lamb just been born still
bloody, saw wrens all in the hedge

little things

later i watched an old film about cyclists
and thought of you except it was all crisp
with english accents, cotton shorts and
sandwiches

he had a bike and used to race my bus
and would be waiting at my home stop

proud of his achievement
every time
every day james

admiring your lines
