Monday

A CURSE ON BUILDERS

Report claims,

"Difficult tennant.

We can't contact."

She scowls,

"Some hide!

He never arrived."

"Five times

I waited,

Grew agitated."

Inspector tuts

"Not done.

Bare minimum."

Tennant not

Only one

To curse

Lazy, lying

Inept, skiving

Builders

Tuesday

Darkened eyes

Tentative grip

Stubborn flint

Igniting passion

Crimson steel

Sculpted fervor

Azure bound

Sinuous weld

Friday

RED SOCKS

Reflexively, I grasp the regulation whites

Radiant under relentless illumination

Realisation slices my heart in the jagged light

Regulations no longer apply

Restraint no longer necessary

Reaching out, I snatch with glee

Red socks, exultant triumphant

Replacements for rejected

Regulation whites
