Appreciate your marks of age
Light a candle for every new blemish mark or scar
Like a ring on a tree trunk it is a sign of defiance shown on your glorious trunk
Celebrate each mistake you make by wearing your favourite colour head to toe for the entire day
Know that you won’t do it again, or if you do you will be reassured that you won’t shatter next time you will still be you

Eat apples and honey under swollen moon.
Listen to the drums,
Fumble in confused sexual liaison,
With your heart beat.
Stand. Ever so still, so all that moves you,
Are the Earth’s vibrations.

Ask your mother to tell you a memory of her mother
Paint the scene of your mother’s memory
Take the painting of your mother’s memory and place it in an art gallery of your home town
Ask your father to tell you a memory of his mother
Paint the scene of your father’s memory
Burn the painting of your father’s memory
