Days and Nights

Feel strange
about my life,
given the number of pages
and the words I write.
Feel strange,
and strangely caught
by so many different lights.
Feel strange
about all of my life.
Feel strange
about the direction of travel,
and about where you end up
piled up
against something else,
never feeling quite enough.
Feel strange about it all.
Is this it,
is this where we are,
and is there something else?
It’s clear
that no one is really in charge.
Feel strange
about all of my life —
then and now,
days and nights.

James Garratt – Tuesday 26th May 2026
