I want to be Pel

Scrabbling our way 

On St. Faith to Fishbourne

Unraveling its Mint velvet tuft carpet rug

Waving to Spinnaker Tower

In a Rigatoni jacket

Mind the oceanic gap as it rolls through

I love the sounds of my friends laughing

Those ephemeral Opal moments

And connections we have

Like Meredith telling me about the Orgreave recreation by Jeremy Deller

On the pebble beach

By the waterfront

Where I stole 15 good sized sea glass in-waiting

I told my best friend about

Documenting my year to become an

Artist and a poet

Soaring like a female Eurasian eagle owl,

Can her name be a Warrior named pel

We Played scrabble

with 8 tiles in 4 pairs

Huddled like tamarines

Red to start it off

Get is 10

Jet adds 11 to make it 21

Vents 10 to 31

Waxes 16 to 47

Stager rounding game 1 off at 61

Game 2 started with Waxes again, 14 this time

Bask-ed in a score of 20 additional

Join-s on 24

As seen in movie to become 88

Leaping in front with frog

But blindsided like doe in headlights

When we lost by 5

Let these memories last till next time

Summing more than their parts

Clips to snapshot on a wall

Like a disappearing gun -

All powerful moments then comes the time to reload

Till we next crank those fun dial
