Lava flow

 

And then time stood still

as if it were yesterday;

your rage held in check.

Egg case

 

Its purpose fulfilled

a precious gift from the sea

with tales of mermaids

Radula

 

An algal carpet

etched by the teeth of a snail;

patterns in the stone.

Passing strangers

 

A fifties throwback

in dowdy clothes and singing;

we share friendly smiles.

School footie

 

Break times spent contained

in ‘the pen’. You lot are Spurs

we’ll be The Arsenal.

Ant day

.

Gulls in thermals swoop

and stall, feasting on new queens;

tiny protein treats.

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.
