It’s almost as if
there wasn’t a Christmas break
nose to the grindstone.

Thirteen years ago
those halcyon days we had
calm before the storm.

- From Wikipedia:
From Latin Alcyone, daughter of Aeolus and wife of Ceyx. When her husband died in a shipwreck, Alcyone threw herself into the sea whereupon the gods transformed them both into halcyon birds (kingfishers). When Alcyone made her nest on the beach, waves threatened to destroy it. Aeolus restrained his winds and kept them calm during seven days in each year, so she could lay her eggs. These became known as the “halcyon days,” when storms do not occur. Today, the term is used to denote a past period that is being remembered for being happy and/or successful.

Before departure
whole day spent cleaning the house;
leaving them behind.

Short break
Tying up loose ends
just a bit demob-happy
sing so long suckers.

It’s the excitement
checking snow reports daily
skiing on my mind.

Gentle emergence
from the mists of Bodmin Moor
to the streets of home.
My mind fixed on the former
though my body has returned.
