saying it

autumn evening
candle wax

Sequence with Erin Castaldi

early evening pond
the splash
of a ghost carp

tornado season
thick thunder wind
buried memories

midsummer montbretia
flames
lick the garden

earth, air, wind, fire

the pressures that lift

men up

patio door
sliding
into silence

cloud woman
drum of thunder
night skin

howling mushrooms
I dream
of clouds

listening
to sunflowers

first Mass
after lockdown
empty      pew    s

my wife's old bike
so many miles
between us

that old plate
the one
that just won't break

so
you can make an omelette
out of bad eggs

midsummer montbretia
flames
lick the garden

a fledgling
on the grass
no cat in sight

wisteria

wistfully

winding 

olive bread

my carotid glands

anticipate

tapping

my grandfather’s barometer

childhood memory

broken barometer

no pressure

Zoom or Skype?
my place or yours?
the new normal

new bed
same sides
bigger gap

wild mushroom window dream

quiet church
just the smell
of hand sanitiser
