J-Walking and Other Crimes of Passion.

Might not be around to post for the next few days. Have to look after my maternal Grandmother, a woman who helped to raise me and is now old, frail and beginning to lose her mental perspicacity. Its time to pay her back.

So with this in mind, this is for you, Freckle. I hope you are ok.

Which words to pluck
From the lexicon of slang
And the colloquial hand-basket
To sum you?

Which order to put them,
And where to hide the shades
Of ambiguity? I have things
Too shameful to say.

What time to say -
With throaty giggles, coughs -
The fullness of the feelings,
And the consequences?

So, which words to pluck
From the lexicon of slang
And the colloquial hand-basket
To sum you?

Iridescent, kaleidoscopic, lustrous?
More simply: friend, ally.


See you in time, you rubber-neckers. Enjoy the weather.
