2nd August 2019

clear skies
bringing back the heat
mown lawns

waking at two a.m.
by the yipping of an urban fox.
The hiss of car tyres
on a rain-wet street.
Someone's television
to loud in the night air.
Bad dreams again
revisiting childhood
thanks to my current thoughts.
How could I kill a child
yet remain a sympathetic protagonist?
Names from my past
returning to haunt me.
