Autumn cut

 

Out come secateurs

as wisteria leaves drop;

autumnal milestone.

Early train

.

Skeletal trees line

the trackside and dark low cloud

turns all things to bronze.

Love of my life

.

Ecstatically

happy with you by my side

Many years ago.

On listening to a Queen track of the same name

Wish

 

Government will fall

and the people will decide

a better future.

…and other animals

 

Growling and hissing

as four-legged friends converge;

feeding time chez moi.

Treasure

.

Shedding leaves of gold

a silver birch undresses

Autumnal treasure.

More than twenty four

 

Static in traffic

my attention is drawn to

a bush filled with birds

more sparrows than I can count

clustered in a tiny space.

Wheel of death

 

The spinning circle

something is ‘not responding’

frustration sets in.

Earth has no borders

.

The world is dying

while nationalism thrives

what does this tell us?

Walk in the rain

 

No more delaying

we’ll do a short one today

and rein in the walk.
