escargot
on the park bench
on the park bench
a fledgling steals a strand
of her hair

artless earthworm
artless earthworm
flexing the weight of the world
on it’s shoulders

scattered wagtail chatter from

little sparrow
little sparrow
from table to table
she scrounges

a broken tooth
a broken tooth
she forgets as she smiles
at the soup cup

her childhood bane
her childhood bane
she scoffs the discarded
toastie crusts

two jumper day
two jumper day heating the first thing she cuts

sleeping upright again
sleeping upright again
she makes a wish through
the windscreen

switched off
switched off
the drone of the idling engine
drones on
