Ceinwen E. Cariad Haydon

Blown Skywards

White sheets billow in welcome, sunshone winds.
Pegs strain under pressure, yet they grip firm,
mostly. Bedding twines around her line, pinned.

Crises push and pull, she explodes, thin-skinned.
Her lack of resilience makes her squirm.
White sheets billow in welcome, sunshone winds.

Ionised air fills her lungs, draughts rescind
blame. Hypnotised eyes, swing and sway and yearn
in flight. Bedding twines around her line, pinned.

April greens stark trees. Twigs snatch cloth, wild-winged
—dare doubts to stay at bay: she looks to learn.
White sheets billow in welcome, sunshone winds.

She strains, claims potential in hopes undimmed;
reaching out to others, her main concern.
Playful bedding twines around, line unpinned.

She baskets her laundry with clear-faced grins,
unrestricted at last, her dance steps turn.
White sheets billowed in welcome, sunshone winds.
Loose bedding twirls around her line, unpinned.
