12th August 2025

 



sunny day

an hour in the garden

tea and chatting

The smallest glimmer of a sunshine's ray

can light the depths of deepest dark of night

and in the current climate of decay

a single word of kindness makes it bright.

I send a message to the lady owning

a Facebook female grappler's band

in confession of my status and atoning

though my profile states that I was born a man.

Imagine my surprise when comes a letter

in opposition of the country's hate

where she tells me that I can remain a member

since I've spent o'er thirty years in such a state'

 For almost twenty years I've been accepted

 though the teacher I first had, had me ejected.
