in

                   the

      autumn

                   tree

                           only

  crows

an hour dead

his watch is still ticking

it’s the first thing you remove

in time with The Angelus

sipping  my beer

Canadian geese

distinguishable

by their accent

young priest

his breviary bookmark

an old flame

ponies
gathered under a tree
grey skies

railway tracks
glinting
into the distance

in the railway carriage

someone

peels an orange

we kissed at the barriers

and passing through

she left me

Thomas Hardy

Departure platform 

cat’s chorus

someone

throws a shoe

rush hour metro

someone

had garlic

happy hour

on their faces

not a smile

children

collecting

conkers
