By the cold wind blown

In little eddys we swirl

Autumn that remains

And so it ended

This day so long and noisy

So to bed I go

A broken window

Things I should have left unsaid

All empty boxes

As we walk back home

Down the roads I used to know

Sharp memories flood back

Hold me to ransom

Drowning in a sea of blue 

Status quo ante

As the heron swoops

Under an old red brick bridge

My days flee away

While the leaves unfurl

They shimmer and shine in green

And shut out the sky

Star photons scatter

Across dark empty spaces

So far my head hurts

Strong currents dragging

Ever nearer the ocean

It’s downhill from here

Orion the fool
On a delusional hunt

I gave up trying

Confined by four walls

 I travel many long miles

In optic fibre
