Writing

Wring each day

in this way

helps to slow

down

time

Even so

it seems ridiculous to be

in our sixth month

Wasn’t it only just June?

Was that really a year?

Hang on!

I think it was two!

How could you do this to me?

How could I do this to you?

Writing

Thoughts

So much of what I write is based around time. Where it goes, how it flows. Is it a straight line or is it circular? Can I meet myself on the way back round or is everything now in the past? I have some thoughts but they could be a future book idea. For now, I will reminisce about our trip down the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok all those years ago.
