2012.01.16 — TV chatter cannot keep up the eyelids (A River of Stones#1-16)

TV chatter cannot keep up the eyelids
heavy at the near end of a cold day.
Warm coffee and liquorice babies.

2012.01.12 — Heavy eyelids and a deadline late (A River of Stones#1-12)

Heavy eyelids and a deadline late.
The clock doesn't know I exist despite the earth's spin.
I tip the long empty cup up to my lips in a gesture of misplaced faith.

2011.02.09 — It's a quiet dream (NaSmaStoMo#2-9)

It's a quiet dream
flitting across my eyelids,
tickling my humour.
