Poetry: 22nd December 2015

night graves
the glowing tip
of a cigarette in
the porch darkness of  a flint church
bargains

howling wind
the vertical vapour trail of a rocket

standing
in the market rain
taking cover
three old ladies on scooters
sharing a cigarette lighter

last check of mail
before I head to bed
already past midnight

no internet connection
unplug and rewire the routers
I try everything

global Sky outage

too much activity. Her dinner returns.
