lost

doesn’t mean
the Love
is less.

The Cherries are blossoming late this year.
I’ll wait for you; you know where.

How does your garden grow?

In Aleppo
the boy
overwhelmed by an adult medic’s coat
tends  the wounded and dying.

Blood has become like water to me.

A shell falls.

Rebel soldiers stealthily tread through rubble
while boys and girls play marbles, skipping, table-football,
in streets battered like crushed cockle shells
as if falling shells were silver bells
and streams of blood were waterfalls
as if the sacred river wasn’t sullied
by blood of bloated bodies,
hands bound behind their backs
before their execution.

Blood has become like water to me.

Shells fall,
rain falls
on corpses.

Blood has become like water to me.

Hundreds of shells fall
and yet you refused to leave your home,
determined to stay and tend your geraniums
in Damascus.

If they had starlight cameras
not closed circuit TV
then maybe they would get to see us
side by side and holding hands and staring up

awaiting
shooting stars.

Nemesis

Gatecrasher One was gutted by flames and now
 a river’s rushing towards Wicker Arches.
