Heatwave

 

Sitting in the cool

lobby inside the front door;

the only escape.

Warm Sunday evening 

.
I sit suspended

in my wood-slatted deck chair;

coming up for air.

Day star

 

Brightness penetrates

through the leafy canopy;

Summer here at last.

Mixed blessing

.

I’ve just missed my bus

the next is a while away

enough time for this.

Meeting

.

On my arrival

I am greeted by a young 

pair of goldfinches.

Lost at sea

 

Remembering those

whose unfathomable loss

will not wash away.

Sol

.

Thoughts turn to Summer

and glorious days ahead;

skylarks in the dunes.

Natural dispassion

.

Blackbird alarm calls,

too late my intervention

the damage is done.

Escher (on my mind)

 

Stairways to nowhere

I’m muddled and befuddled;

seeking out solace.

Cabinet reshuffle (profanity warning)

 

May reshuffles her

pack and learns it’s difficult

to polish a turd.

  • The last political one for a while…I need to get back to nature and the environment and love and things like that.
