Deadlines

The goal is right there,

but the goalposts have moved.

The deadline was then,

but is also right now.

It’s all of it done,

but yet just begun.

Receipts

I have a history,

a book of tiny pages.

Nov 12th

Wine, mould cleaner,

a new flat.

Dec 12th

Blue shirt, cheap belt,

an old friend.

Jan 6th

Overpriced trainers, a fresh towel,

ambitious plans.

Jan 12th

Donut, a milkshake,

habits resumed.

Home

We talked under a fading bulb.

It was early winter or late autumn,

if you believed our bills.

You laughed,

I played the fool,

we sat in our living room.

The TV was ignored,

phones were unchecked,

until daylight broke in.

Food Guilt

Lunch squats in front of me,

too much?

too little?

Unhealthy,

look at that snack.

Tiny,

look at that juice.

Bloated but starving,

wanting to stop,

fearing to start,

I gorge on nothing.
