The oxygen place

By -
You pull me back down
when I chase after stars:  
moon tiaras, 
then struggle to breathe -
the oxygen place.

Sometimes my brain blurs
ghosts and phantoms on the road -
I'm afraid to walk
until you trace each tall, grey
lamppost.

I tangle myself into talented nightmares
a lot, sparkling knots.
you speak like a comb -
I collect the glitter.

This morning I saw seagulls

This morning I saw seagulls, Far from the sea Circling the moon I can not tell the type of day I'm walking in to -  The Sun, on the other side, said it loved me But I have a stone in my shoe On the way to the station Change can be mysterious, it can be Frustration. I am far from the sea Circling the night - The only certain answer To a day of Question.  LJ Ireton 2023

My favourite thing to do When I sit Under the Sun, Is close my eyes, Warm my face and Remember each place I have done this before. Because even across the water, Or with scenery so changed, Sitting  Under the Sun, Is the one thing That feels the same.  C. LJ Ireton 2020
