Doing Well

When I think of the parts I don’t play.

The minuscule oeuvre of my writing career

I look at you and the kids and shout “hey!

My fame and fortune are bloody well HERE”

I feel the home round me, my eyes see the street

I’m sat in the middle of real happiness.

No doubts: I’ve got it, give thanks, it’s complete

And in your soft kiss is all my success.

Ever Young

I’ve never thought of you as less than young

Though things concern you – imagined lines, maybe

White veins among your hair’s dark ore...

The Handyman

If only energy would stay – 

Two fingers up to eighty-two – 

Because you’re ill I’d wait on you...
