***
the hour before dawn
a still point
in a turning world
***
library reading rooms
empty at night
enchanted forest
***
the child
lived to the tick
of a different clock
***
old
sepia photograph
drained of life
***
ivy cloaked statues
waiting
patiently
***
your foot steps and mine
just my footprints in the sand
your warmth besides me
***
so many names, so many layers
***
whispering her name, the wind
***
she lived
as a ghost
nothing connected
***
heard within poetry, silence
***
she saw
with different eyes
remembered
***
in her cloak of blue
she melted
into the bluebell woods
***
globe
of the world
a pencil sharpener inside
***
tree branches
holding stars
up in the sky
***
haloes
in the mists
street lamps
***
the spitfire
dusty in the museum
yet echoes remained
***
night sky
dark blue velvet
quilted with glittering stars
***
intrusive moon
all night
peaks through the curtains
***
where does thought end, she wondered
***
