Visiting Hours

It's not as sterile as it should be
sitting on the bottom step
of the first floor,
you're waiting and you notice
the dust and dirt,
it should bother you but it doesn't,
there are other things to think about
and it's not like before,
with blood on your sleeves,
this is better, you are better.
These visiting hours will come and go
quicker than any other time
you've sat in a hospital,
holding on to what makes you happy
this time wrapped up in pink and white.

Make-Up Make-Up

Beige plastered over pale skin
it's disappointing,
no blush of cheek,
no stretch of smile,
no wrinkles at your eye.
Blemishes gone, with freckles
and so are you.
Eyes black under layers of colour
something's hidden, almost lost
that you might not get back.
The morning comes with
smudges and smears
and we're left wondering
what it is you regret
when you put the mask of make-up
back on again.

Old Scars Dry skin
over old scars,
peel back the patterns
etched into skin
scrub away the bruises
the burst blood vessels
look, look, look at me
repeat the sequence
you see,
broken circuits in the brain
could be used
to explain
some of this
or none of this
depending on the weather,
depending on the doctor,
or the medication,
or lack of,
take your pick
choose a choice
this is mine
dry skin
over ageing scars.

Haunting Of Butterflies The Haunting Of Butterflies

Butterflies haunt me now
remind me only of death,
on soft wings and light steps.
My own fault,
I made it this way,
wrote lines, embraced beauty,
until it all fell away,
became death and disaster,
one way or another.
So carve colours into coffins,
onto their headstones,
I've left my mark now,
and am haunted by butterflies
for all eternity.

A Soul Worn Thin The only evidence of my mind's path is the not-quite-tangible-trail it leaves,

and without exception, that trail leads back to her
back to here
and there,

the paths we've tread together
hand in hand.

My feet-
blind, cumbersome

crush into oblivion

the slight depressions which remember her-

delicate arches,

toes
and small round heels
marks left, in gratitude, in the life of the forest floor

by her oft repeated pilgrimage.

But all is not lost
for new memories are made;
fresh earth-casts formed.

Now her footprints run beside the gaping holes I leave in the ground
a mark of sorrow,
sometimes of joy
