What Ivy Doesn’t Know About Depression
Ivy called me out
From deep depressive moments
Or she says she tried
You should see her try
With her queries and questions
Her invasive stance
She tried very hard
She wouldn’t be told not to
Knowing what she knows
She just has to try
Try so very very hard
Its what’s good for me
Speaking up and out
Revealing souls dark secret
Letting it all out
But when she heard this
Ghost of secret spectral past
Ivy ran away
And gladdened my day
Free from the inquisition
I sat in the dark
Looking through windows
Over urban horizons
To see Ivy run
And then it happened
As far as I am aware
A wry smile appeared

A Field Of Dreams
In the field the Diggers dig together
Their alloted time in allotments come
Soup is made from their forever growing
Self sufficient in work they feed others
On the border a photographer snaps
Whilst another camera rolls new film
A microphone is placed to receive sound
From the field where Diggers dig together
Rabbits scamper away from this hoo ha
Their working of the fields never complete
They will sleep this daytime waiting for stars
Their alloted time in allotments soon
Diggers and photographers wave hellos
Comradeship exists across the acres
Photographers cherish Diggers digging
Soup is made from their forever growing
Stillness in the burrows beneath their feet
Where rabbits dream of landscapes yet to be
No shovels and spades for these architects
Self sufficient in sleep they feed vision
