    Sometimes you can’t see where to look.
    The eyes aren’t designed to pick out the clues
    that guide children through trees
    into a place of food fights and colour fights and
    water balloons that crash around the feet
    of the people you fancy.

    There is not enough time
    to colour the path to
    the right person.

    I tried this once before
    branching out to find
    the right line to take
    failing to spot the lines
    that took me away form
    the start of this thing.
    the last time
    was fluid and now there is nothing
    figuring out if there is a true way to falter
    sounds flat like I’m trying to something out
    that doesn’t need to make sense

    branching out you don’t know
    if you will find the right way to get
    from Nottingham to London
    or if you will see the people
    you dread seeing there

    there are no right ways to get to the starting line
    but if you don’t begin you’re all wrong from the outset
    there are not true ways to falter
    there is gibberish to come and gibberish to stop

    An orange casio digital watch
    sets off the tanned skin
    on my husband’s wrist
    keeps him on time
    gets him to the right places
    at the right time
    or checking off the minutes
    ’til his workout has ended.

    Pricked my finger repairing a pink tulle skirt. Blood doesn’t stain nylon.
