A long time coming...

Here's my Haiku diary as promised... sorry for the delay.


11/04/11
She tells me, ‘I lost
my virginity last night’.
It’s rather sudden.

15/04/11
Late, and attempting
neat nail varnish on the tube
while he holds the pot.

16/04/11
A children’s movie.
LOUD SNEEZE. Parents’ blessings from
both the front and back.

18/04/11
Stoic faces and
talks of eye operations.
Not quite dinner chat.

19/04/11
He left this morning.
My sheets were changed; I can’t
smell him anymore.

20/04/11
A clamp on my lid
held it still. They drained the cyst
(what a graphic word).

21/04/11
So, it’s official:
two eyes are better than one.
A crusted eye patch.

22/04/11
He gave me a hug
and I could feel him thinking
“This is the last time”.

26/04/11
As the train approached
I watched him through the window
trying to spot me.

28/04/11
‘I can’t imagine
Him as a child’ I thought, as
we walked round his school.
