Half past two in the morning

The hour is late
The moon is bright
My Husband snores
As do my cats

I was too warm
And now I'm chilled
No sleep tonight
Despite the pills

Poo.

Rumbles

I was drawn outside by the still and the hint of a rumbling purr in the sky. As I stood, head thrown to the heavens and senses alive I felt the stirrings of a giant's heart. It's alive! Slowly but certainly, each beat from the clouds formed a living pulse.

The earthbound radar revealed the armies of the gods massing on the horizon, poised to unleash themselves on sweltering suburbia. Teased by the touch of potential electricity, the magic things emerged from their hiding places in the trees and shrubs.

Tonight. Tonight, things might come. Things might happen. Things might fly. The lucky ones might die.

Wait.

A misanthropic antelope
drank a cup of tea.
While pondering the universe,
he was all at sea.
"Why are we here?" he thought to self,
while searching for a bite.
"And who made all those ugly people
clogging up my sight?"

Time

Two weeks is nothing
Fourteen days eternity
Where to now from here?

London-Based Sister (LBS) made the short list for a sonnet competition and so will be published in the anthology. With her permission I reproduce the work here.

Song for Trevor: The 12 Days of Treatment

BB starts radiotherapy and chemo on Monday Tuesday (changed *again*), and so I dedicate the following song to Trevor the Tumour, who will be leaving us shortly.

Screw you, Trevor )
