In the sunlit wood
I heard
The sound of love.
No word
Did I hear.
Simply the bliss
Of young lover’s lips
Came softly to me
As a bird
In a tree
Mimicked kisses for me.
Love in the Wood

I Could Stop
I could stop
This clock
Once and for all.
Lonely and bored
I called
On Dowson’s rhyme
Of women and wine.
The cork popped
You poured.
And Time’s scythe chopped
Another day away
In play.
A Warm Bed for the Night
A warm bed for the night
Gives some respite
From the indifferent street, where feet
Sound on lonely stone.
She sleeps in sheets.
Her brief respite
After his delight.
She Didn’t Kiss Goodbye
She didn’t kiss goodbye, and I
Thought of those who meet
Under a rented sheet.
Some pass all time in rhyme,
While others take lovers
Who do not kiss goodbye.
Punters
Some take a punt
On a horse.
Others follow a different course.
But they also play
In their hunt
For the perfect young Philly.
All punters are silly
And all pay
For horses lose races
And a Philly’s bought laces
Soon fade away.

Power
“Can I use your bathroom?”.
“Of course.
Do you want a shower?”.
She sprays cheap perfume.
“No, I’m okay”.
What is force?
And who has power
Over whom?
He has had an hour
Or so.
Now she will go.
The Country of the Blind
As someone who is visually impaired, I am registered blind, I was interested to listen to an interview with Andrew Lealand https://blog.freedomscientific.com/fscast-233-andrew-lelands-new-book-the-country-of-the-blind-and-accessible-manufacturing-at-the-seattle-lighthouse/. Andrew is in the process of losing his sight and has written a book entitled “The Country of the Blind”, which should not be confused with the novel of the same name by H. G. Wells.
In the interview Andrew talks about going blind and the many issues which losing one’s vision brings up.
Like me, Andrew uses software called Job Access with Speech (JAWS), which converts text into speech and braille enabling those who are visually impaired and/or blind to use a standard Windows computer or laptop. JAWS is manufactured by Freedom Scientific and Andrew Lealand appears on the company’s latest podcast.
I haven’t read Andrew’s book. It is, however now most definitely on my list of books to be read.
