hand in hand

stirring the aquifers 

of another land

 insurrection 

changing the regime 

to no regime change

 north easterly 

swimming in the lee 

of the tor

 springtime 

even the nettles 

yes even the nettles

 upstairs in M&S

‘do not worry it will go’

he cured my warts 

 many blossoms

many thoughts 

one path

 tight parking space

an impatient queue forming

a fox

 falling falling 

with the plum blossom 

a feather 

 a gate 

combing the sunshine

combing the cat

 dad’s war

in a mock-leather box

that telegram 

home tomorrow 

love george 

 writing haiku 

the child and the old man

exchange glances
