When the nettles pass
The sensitive swelling reveals
New layers,
Of sweet square inch
Desirous of daylight
To quiet the inaudible mewling.
In years we deal
Trading completion of tasks
For satisfactory grinding
Laying to rest - life.
The grey pages come and go
The pink too.
The solitude serves purpose
As the imagination bridges the gap
Between duty and demand.
