I'm going to run away
pack a few belongings
like I did many times as a child
take essential items to sustain me
condensed things like
stock cubes and jelly
compact salty and sweet treats
to nibble - I won't need much this time
this time they'll be vegetarian
I know I might return but
hope to last longer
go further
not to be found hiding
in a hedge
in my garden
and on this return
not gorge
and cling again
to the same fucking branches.

Hey Colm
I enjoyed this and could relate to it. It is written with a light touch and a certain everyday colloquial style that suits the subject. There is one thing I don't really get, which is the last line, in particular, the branches.
