he’s Sun, rising his head
breathing blissfully
as he looks out and around
he begins to stride out
over oceans, mountains and lakes
turning from east to west
later, it’s evening
now it’s her turn
and she’s Selene
forever… perhaps

she’s young
she’s pretty
and it’s almost Christmas she’s waiting
on the train
but soon she’ll be home
there will be packages and presents
she will be thrilled
and soon
she will be brimming over
but only when
she’ll get off from the train

the stone wall is high
there’s a forest beyond
and there’s a doorway
almost always closed
but this time it is open
shall we go in… yes?
we must be careful
is there anyone around?
but no, there’s no-one
the double-doors clang
we’re trapped…

no slouching
reading, writing, numbers
all so important
rubbing on the board
cleaning quickly
I stare out, longingly
trees, birds and the sky
in the distance
I can hear the cars
sorry, what?
and yes, of course
I am the teacher
not the pupil

it’s almost Christmas
and trees are running zigzags
bark is peeling gently, buds are opening
and the showy lilac and mauve are vibrant
it’s almost Christmas
and the jacarandas are singing
as this is the southern hemisphere
and joyful music blossoms around the streets

I’m doing a few clever moves
up and over the wall
with my great skateboard
look I’m under a tall lorry
whoa, that was a cool one
next I’m pacing along the road
moving in uniform
straight, straight, straight
but what’s going on now?
this guy just gave me all these balloons
but I didn’t really want them
I mean, what am I going to do?
I am still holding my skateboard
but now I’m going up
I’m flying…
and I can’t drop now

she is a good girl
she’s bright and intelligent
but what will she be?
history, maths, English
science, geography or art
maybe Latin? (no)
but, of course, she’ll tell
she wants to be an actress
and why not? you see
she can be anything!

all the poppies drift again
as another war breaks out
more violence, more atrocities
so many lives wasted…
millions are homeless
trudging along with little hope
will this ever change?
okay – no more war
let’s ask around the world
is there a new way?

Water, Beautiful Water
shall we go?
we have wooden boats
five of us
we will row
gently but swiftly
here we go;
it’s so clear
and mountains stare up
air breathes deep
it’s lovely
row, row, row again
wonderful
~ such a shame we only have an hour ~

he’s a little goblin
and rather sweet
but he’s lonely
and he’s looking for a mate
there aren’t very many left now
and that so sad
he’d been busy in the embers
and suddenly she’d appeared
she smiled and waved
let’s be lovers, eh?
