Showers

 

August continues

where July left off, frontal

weather stream remains.

Holiday hours

 

So what time is this?

I growl at my daughter, who

rises after lunch.

State employment

 

Painting by numbers,

a perfunctory living

and passion stifled.

 

by Scooj

So tired

 

Sleep overwhelms and

in parallel burdens me;

jobs I have not done.

Caught in a rainstorm

 

A map of London

printed on the underside

of my umbrella;

incongruous reminder

of my original home.

Inclement weather

 

Raining in Bemmie

and the crowds may diminish

but not the spirit.

Upfest 2017

 

Street artists converge

on Bristol for a few days,

painting the town red.

Nepali life

 

In the cool thin air

apple moons laid out to dry;

Autumn provisions

Bin day blues

 

Rotting food street smells

my walk to work polluted;

reality check.

Bridge

 

Crossing the divide

where glacial meltwater

cuts ever seawards.
