One that has been lurking in my notebook. Your comments welcome as usual.
SITUATION REPORT
Nothing of importance has happened
since you boarded the train
early this morning
Apart from feeling a little tired
nobody has been cruel or unkind
some have put on good fronts
to disguise their lack of confidence
while others have thanked me for helping out
Some tea has been drank
and contents of the lunch box devoured
There are no strong memories
of yesterday's joys or disappointments -
no poetry written unless you count this
The pigeons continue to scavange
down by the river where I sit to write
and the wind blows as it has done for days
though no rain for an hour or so
A cormorant stands on the opposite bank
wings stretched out to air and dry as they do
while the only intangible is my thoughts
and how they get round to missing you
not what has happened I know
yet continuo to this unmelodic music
