Without-2









Love's returns

In time for ever

Now the return of the birthday gift

Unopened

The TO furrowed by a FROM

From gift to gift

Returns of love

To and fro in time

Love and all that loveless

Love less

All in circles in this feeble light

Whose birthday?

Whose letters I receive?

What a gift from whom?

To whom in time?

GIFT too is a four-letter-word...

Without-1

When the road hits a cul-de-sac
At the fag-end
It's never bitterness
It's love
Always only
Lonely
Misunderstood
Not understood
Perhaps never to be
Re-understood
Always only
At the fag-end
