No satisfaction

thumbing through volumes of books

I will never read.

Growth

I’m in the greenhouse

That’s where you’ll find me, growing

As a human bean.

Dry

 

Prolonged dry weather,

as we call it in the trade,

set to hang about.

Second life

 

On the allotment

Heath Robinson contraptions

harvest rainwater.

Wisteria

 

Elongated sweet

smelling purple blooms cascade

from the balustrade.

Bristol 10k

Thousands gathering

clutching bib numbers and phones;

Lycra migration.

For once it can’t be me.

Unbelievable 

amount of hair wrapped round the

vacuum cleaner brush.

Hope

 

Azure blue heaven

fills my heart with hope, lately

in such short supply.
