an early one, written in the wee small hours in the morning
with thanks to EM Williams @ writeclub for the prompt
How do i live with myself ?
Its tricky
My shadow blends in to the
Sudden darkness of night, only appearing in
Exceptional circumstances
Like when the bedroom light is on
Full beam
Reflections in the water
skip as circles gravitate out of the water in the sink
and my mirror like self – disappears
in a mist of steam and soap suds
Good Lord ! is that me ?
some things shouldn’t be seen without breakfast
Getting dressed
all fingers and thumbs
and i’m pondering should i put velcro
on the seams where buttons go through the loop
that’d be far too easy
wait a minute now – as i look down
searching for the holes in my belt and brogues
Keys, Wallet, Watch , Phone
sat attentive by the sideboard
or are they ? – they’ve developed legs
and landed where i dropped them the night before (By the laptop)
