Road widening work – Things must give way, curve to straight ~ But, the old tree too?
Move without thinking – To check the kids before sleep ~ Forget they’re not there.
A wide ring – The second finger – Not wed yet.
Rollercoaster ride – A veteran, beside me ~ His leg, stored elsewhere.
Such a big country – Still finding itself, daily ~ With many canyons.
Pocket flap askew – She fixes it, as we part ~ It’s small things that count.
Been hit hard, again – Beaten, but not defeated ~ Head down – chin up.
Take a Dublinbike – Early for the next meeting ~ Time by the canal.
That smell of lateness – When anything might happen ~ Roaring in the ears.
Fish appear to sleep – Stationary, for seconds ~ Perhaps that’s enough.
