Balloon
The life
breathed into it
has escaped
Leaving the skin
too loose
for even the gentlest touch
At times stirred
by tailwind of children
gliding past
The party favourite
hardly worth a shadow now
on the living room couch
Not My Type
Serifs serifs
they do my head in
what’s the point in extending
a neat precise ending
this is a bad dream
sans serif! I scream
sans serif
