ghost

When I dream

When I dream

I dream of biscuits.

This may make me shallow

but that is OK.

Shallow as a saucer full of tea

to share with the ghost of the dog

that lives beneath the table.

The headless man

The headless man strides down the road towards me. Sure, decided steps. Then the streetlight behind him shines through his umbrella. Relief.
