Close Eyes – Written July 2025 (aged 50)

Close Eyes

Close eyes,
shut down gates,
open,
find pasture,
cling to future,
ride,
ride along the wall,
the one that once
happened
to be so tall.

And now,
you are the pitch,
and it comes
in semi-digestible clips.

So close eyes,
and move out
of a space,
hold up
traffic lights,
and come back
to a better place.

James Garratt – May 2025
