Folks,

I am home, after work

The night is mild

It's might is wild

Not warm

Not cold

In temperature, pleasant

In temperament, unsettled

Gusting wind stirs the trees

...

..

.

A neighbour, close by

Left a shed door unlatched

Caught in each pulse

It swings hard and meets frame

Repeating

Metallic

SLAM


after

SLAM


Into the night

And into my mind

Like a torpedo, fired

From a vessel

But instead travelling backward

Down my ear canal

and

...

..

.

Detonating

Upon impact

With my mind

That would really rather sleep

...

..

.

I am happy officer, I swear

For the joys found each day

Like this one:

Lizard on pipework at a Water Treatment Plant

Lizard close-up

What a sweetheart
