WHAT'S THIS?

Having been immersed in memoir writing for many months, I decided to write a small poem every day for a year to keep my poetic hand in. I've posted them to Instagram and facebook as written – where, to my amazement, people love them – but on this blog they are sometimes subject to later rewriting.

There she is ...

There she is, glimpsed onscreen again 

(after how many years?) among 

the even-more-famous – beautiful as ever, 

though aged. I fight the almost irresistible

urge to name-drop: ‘Last time I saw X

in person, was at a birthday party for Y’ 

(another Name) ‘where she cut me dead.’ 


She had been through tragedy by then. More 

than one. A confidante once, perhaps I became

too much a reminder old, private sorrows?
