6th January 2018

16oz Pink
cold, damp,
the mud squelching under our paws
low clouds

no. I don't like boxing.
Don't you get that I'm old?
and slow?
It wasn't the uppercut
to my upper jaw so much,
as the dizziness
and twisted foot as I fell.
It still hurts today
so thanks for that.
No, thank you but no,
I won't be doing boxing
any more.

It was the hard one on my nose
that put me off
as stars swirled around the moon
to leave me forever in a swoon.
