I have been planted deep inside Mother Earth Hard fingered roots hold me down Until I am ready to be born again I am here to learn about the network of living thoughts, we walk on each day The ground we take for granted. One thing I found fascinating, Is the whispering to one another,…

I have walked so far I can go no further The world is chasing me Shrinking all round Tiny fingers poking at me Demanding things I cannot give If I stand here with my eyes closed Let the shadows swallow me The world will disappear… © Anita Dawes 2021

Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Ticky Tacky Standing on the edge of foreverWith a mist around my feetI wish I could see tomorrowWhere we are the same, yet different.Underneath our boxes made of ticky tackyWhat hides there?We are, by our very nature, nosy, curious.We would like to knowwhat happens behind closed doors.What are you thinking inside your tiny…

Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Let the records show I am indissoluble.I would survive a sudden dipping in lime.Some people come up smelling of roses.I am one of them.I am anodyne, I would not like to offend anyone.Better I were pulled through a gathering backwards.Where I pull my hair, trying to wake.Ahead, I see a three-sided symbolwith a…

Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Oeillade, that sudden glanceacross the supermarket aisleReminding me to buy some roses.Disturbed by his blue eyes.I was reminded of the beady eyed stare of a raven.On reflection, I feel sure he was trying to be romantic.I had my hand on a tin of treacle.For mum, she didn’t ask for much.I was more than…

Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Birthday celebrations, Red ribbons tied, On presents bright. Kind wishes, extra kisses, Eager faces, family waiting. Nearer to forty than you want to be.

Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie My mouth is dryAs I descend the basement stepsI hear the low snarl of an animalTrapped, hiding in the darkI feel the blast of stale warm airCorrosive at the back of my throatI had no intention of following the lure.Dangling in from of my noseI heard the stories.Aware of the ruse, the dangerLike…

Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie I twist and turn, trying not to wake.It’s Saturday, 7am, the weekend looms.I lie there, count the polystyrene tiles on my ceiling.The one tile with the corner missing.Reminds me that I have been meaning to remove it.A job that has been on the top of my list for monthsI pull the covers over…
