Amalgamation
Darren E
YOU need to stop and listen, and YOU need to work it through, When you seek amalgamation do NOT make another blue – We are the ones who suffer. Do YOU understand our plight? We the people of the country employ YOU to get it right.
The Old Man by Stormy
The old mans eyes are the kind of pale blue you see in so many graziers, blue from peering into the horizon to see what the days weather will bring. He still wakes before sunup, a habit he has never lost, he still needs to get up very early to complete the tasks his aging body now does so much more slowly. Even getting out of bed is getting harder each day. He pats the empty space beside him where his wife Lil slept for 45 years, it’s been fifteen years since she passed away but it still feels like yesterday. Swinging his feet, gnarled with arthritis, over the side of the bed he struggles to find those slippers Peter and Anne sent him for fathers day. The floor is cold, theres a frost on the flats he thinks. Both feet encased now in the grey slippers with the heels squashed down, he lifts himself off the bed and makes his way to the door.
