The Toast


To Him and Her
21-10-2013

To the school I haven’t attended
And the playground I have seen from far away,

To the song that hasn’t been written yet,
About dancing and love.

To the soft sea waves,
That I haven’t swum in,

To Her, To Him

To Me

The rocking chair

3-10-2013

When your grandma used to sit on it,
Singing the wounded bird's song,
Who lost its parents but found love.

Your dad sat on it,
Reading his favourite morning paper
And napping on it in the afternoon.

You sit on it,
It rocks back and forth,
You sigh several times,
Then turn off the lights
