DAY 21 – Aug 23 we are changing
rearranging
the inner
and the outer
adapting
evolving
faster than Darwin
ever thoughta
renovating
changing rooms around
reframing
taking pictures down
rescaling
not like deckchairs
on that fatal boat
for we have clocked the iceberg
we will chart a course in time
we will stay afloat
jettison
what we thought
we’d need
choose a side
and run to it
at speed
to get the balance
right
shift a bed
move a sofa in
turn a chair
make space
to let the air
find a new path
into your head.
