Another brilliant piece from a GUNNAS WRITING MASTERCLASS writer.
“Last Bet”
Money on
a double,
“Win Only”
He lost.
“Pen line”
It went
through
the words
of another’s
bio essay.
Irrelevant,
in the way,
steadfast
on task
their pen
ready for
the next
activity.
“Happy New Year”
Cheer, delight
..”this is the
year for thee”
Overhearing
them
I walk pass
under a fading
Christmas tree.
But today
I feel better
clearer
“Happy new
year ”
I whisper
to me.
“Push”
Ms Deveny,
like the
ABC midwives
pretty bikes,
Telling us
Gunna’s
get
that writing
out of you,
pronto!
In a rush
she breezes
past me,
smiling
wise
eyes,
twinkling
at my
sweaty
scrawls.
“Ovine”
Red egg
she gave
to the soldier
no pen, nor papyrus
for her tale.
Her egg
was
fresh,
ready
for the
enemy
He remembered
the ex
prostitutes
story,
2000
years
this soldier
gave back
an egg
“Happy Easter”
and left
quietly.
