short forms 14th December 2016

grown-up
she asks her dad
about her birth parents.
Where was she adopted from? Who
gave up?

a knot of sparrows
circumnavigate a bare oak
late fruit

the need to write
becoming overwhelming
new novel
my terror at writing badly
crippling

thirty copies
of a poetry collection
wait to be signed

excerpts of the past
people I have loved
if just for one night

all fade into the past

fighting illness. Her muscles weaken. Strength.
