sleep-heavy, i lie

contemplating my next move:

late start to the day.

#594 (moments in nights)

a moment in a 

long night lasts a horribly,

awfully, long time.

the moment after

a short night makes you question 

you’ve had enough sleep.

a moment in a

good night might be a long one

in a pleasant dream,

or

a moment in a 

good night might transport you as

you lie back warmly.

a moment in a 

bad night burns itself into

your worst memories.

most moments, most nights,

are just blank pieces of sleep

unworthy of note.

#593

in one long night i

sought to solve all my problems..

this one will not work.

during the long night,

a distant light gives us hope,

reshapes our faces.

the long night returns,

signalled by an owl’s loud hoot,

and a big shiver.

no sleep on long nights -

a moment isn’t a moment,

it is a lifetime.

camping on long nights:

super cosy lie ins and 

early bedtimes too.

the long night falls once

more and i get lost again,

the streets are so changed

Full Moon on Forest.

Wet road headlight reflections.

Door to the River.

#586

fox-eating magpies

all three in the road’s middle,

only two dodge cars

#584

the blue door bricked up,

the friendship and history

no more can pass through

#583

in the sports hall and

all the shouts, shame, cries and pain

of old can be heard

#582

in the school gym and

i'm wondering if there's a

hot floor area

#581

in the sports hall, a

quiet morning, kicks echo -

Saturday football.
