Perfect day

It is the best day

when swifts announce their return

invisible cries

In meadow grassland

and sun-popping buttercups

to rest here a while

May

I’m digging again

while flitting sparrows twitter

orange tips flutter

A moment enjoyed

warm May sun scolds my trousers

while Ruben frolicks.

Rain

 

Much needed although

unwelcome interruption;

the heavens open.

Growth

I’m in the greenhouse

That’s where you’ll find me, growing

As a human bean.

* With apologies. 

Dry

 

Prolonged dry weather,

as we call it in the trade,

set to hang about.

Wisteria

 

Elongated sweet

smelling purple blooms cascade

757. Stokes Croft, the Carriageworks (24)

You can always rely on ObjectØØØ to be very present when there is some political action going on. At the start of March he and DNT took over several of the arches at the Carriageworks and posted a huge and rather crude protest banner piece for a march in London, protesting against cuts in the National Health Service (NHS).

The highlight had to be the central picture of Theresa May kissing Donald Trump, obviously referencing their little ‘love in’ when May visited Trump shortly after his electoral triumph, also referencing the potential privatisation plans that the Tories have with American health insurance companies, also referencing this unforgettable image of Trump kissing Boris Johnson by the Paintsmiths prior to the Brexit vote. Who’d have thought we would be in this dreadful state right here right now. Grief.

While technically not as strong as the Paintsmiths piece, the image still has impact. Power to the people!

Mind meander

 

Through rippled glass I

gaze at beautiful May skies

and cherry blossom.
