Haiku: A Friend In Time
Who knows what time is A cold distant relative who's left you behind
copyright Francis Barker 2020
Poem: Whose History
Places you’ve walked by all your life,
the things you’ve missed
and taken for granted.
Windows buried, their arches
showing above ground,
what we may call Early English,
disguised by brick and tarmac –
the layers of untold history:
a million stories lost in the retelling

Haiku: Our Place In Time
Is this our account?
Our apportioned span on earth
stored eternally

Poem: Host
Outside I sensed you, just a little warmth in the wind, perhaps a whisper of something said in a distant age - your rage against time. You are all around us some say, looking for a host, a creed I won't subscribe to in my antediluvian mind
