27th July 2019

clouds at last
Salvage Restaurant, Clowne
record breaking temperatures
can fuck right off

Hollow oak
a hole at its base
where we scramble inside,
climb into the eaves
among the lasves and the wind;
the buzzing of hoverflies
and the serenity of absence.
There's no homework, here,
no dad's moaning or
worrying mothers;
just the wind and the peace.

When I went back
I couldn'd believe how small the hole was
I couldn't even look inside.
How small i was
when I needed the solace of that oak.
