Born in Plymouth, I now live in the Southern Uplands of Scotland. I am married and work in Glasgow.
I have started writing poetry again after a break of several years.
From my seat I see the ramp
That would walk me to my past.
Imagined footsteps mark the paths
Pinned in place by memories like spires
...
I paused last night
And watched you whilst you read.
You looked so small sat in
The corner of the room,
...
I saw you once, waiting for the train
To take you home after school.
For five years you commuted each way,
Over an hour there and back.
