The death of a friend

is a time for reflection

nearest and dearest

Two years and a day

more work than ever we thought

and a lot of love

O Mio Babbino Caro

 

This sweetest of songs

Dame Kiri Te Kanawa

and I in duet

 

by Scooj

 

Rain stopped play

 

Neither I nor dog

have any inclination

to take a wet walk

Hypocrisy

 

To not tolerate

all forms of intolerance

is intolerant

 

by Scooj

 

* I hear it all the time from politicians and pundits in the media – ‘intolerance will not be tolerated’. I know it is dependent on what is being talked about, but conceptually it is challenging to say such things.

Dawn haze

Sodium street lights

tormented and diffracted

Autumn fog in town

Big sleep

.

Thoughts turn to Winter

and an urge to hibernate

to curl up and sleep.

Down

 

Reached a new low point

the two tribes further apart

no resolution.

Occasional visitor

 

What is this I see?

carpet bathed in golden sun

I will lie in it
