 torn from the landscape

hung in the art gallery

it is remains there

 school holidays 

the newly planted orchard


has withered

Sunday, 9 August 2026

i’m telling the cat

just how very sad it is

  • she purrs gently

 warm breeze

how many fallen leaves

can a cobweb hold


warm breeze

a murmuration of shadows

in the trees 


warm breeze

a murmuration of shadows

in the trees 


the milky way 

so there is much further

do you see


with the apple tree

laden right down with fruit 

i feel six feet tall 


 that T-shirt

shed your inhibitors 

pointedly

 the turn of the year 

is waiting in the wings

the house lights dim 

 the engineer 

mending our boiler 


has gone very quiet 

 blather will not make 

those broad sunlit uplands


but a marshland
