short forms 23rd January 2017

brother
lost before time
a parental campaign
to gain acceptance for their boy
now lost

a sliver of moon
against the fading house roofs
morning frost

bedtime BJs
just the thing to raise a smile
and the sheets
a bookmark lost
among the pillows

too much
the wallpaper paste
not drying

papier mache sculpture
propped up with pegs
on crumpled paper

awaiting hope

awake before the alarm. Stinging eyes
