Long week

 

Slumped on the sofa

in silent meditation

outside the rain falls

For the record

 

In response to politicians who churn out the soundbite “what people want is to get Brexit done”.

 

I am a person

one of forty eight percent

I wish to remain.

This sweetest of songs

Dame Kiri Te Kanawa

and I in duet

Hypocrisy

 

To not tolerate

all forms of intolerance

is intolerant

Sodium street lights

tormented and diffracted

Autumn fog in town
