love for creator

that look will stay with me.
through the train window i was searching aimlessly for meaning,
when i finally reached her.
 a tall body obscured my view, 
the frustration built. 
 and then she smiled. 
she smiled for me. 
the body blocking me moved toward her.
clearly he thought that look was his. 
and although they seemed familiar, i knew it was mine.i have never felt more understood. 
her eyes spoke to me. comfort that had eluded me since those early days in the nursery. 
  she knew more than i did. she had always been there. i just hadn’t spotted her.
it was her breath that made clay man.
her eyes that gave sparkle to the sky.
she had tread every well-worn path.
put everything in place 
for that moment on the train.the smoke took her away. but i can feel her in the air.

  • First Love

    As the hair extends into the ground, 
    Holding all. Stabilise, renew. 
    Find solace ‘neath what once was her arms
    There’s life in you yet. 

    Back, back to when she stood outside your window
  • Dinner Party

    Lay the table,
    Where all the women will be sat. 
    Soft linen wraps her wooden body.
    What once was a growing life, 
    Feeds the darlings now. 
     Preparation chews up life- 
     All is ready.
