Poetry by Philip Davison
For Instance
Dents in cars
red ivy
enormous trees,
you don’t want to
miss these
when out
buying sausages
or looking for love.
The Living of a Life
There and back
is the sum of it,
though that can’t be confirmed.
Celebration
Planning a play date
with her best friend
over the phone
she says –
‘The first thing we’ll do
is put on our masks and hug.’
