the smell of alcohol

on the priest's breath

Holy Communion

 big fat Buddha

rubbung his tummy

for luck

waves of cicada sound

wash over my morning run

dreaming of home

formation flying

a squadron of swans

glides to a halt

Accepted Blithe Spirit (2025) 35:4

early spring morning

a snail

moving……….house

from four slices

to two

downsizing our toaster

empty recycling bin

the thump

of the first wine bottle

a lone pheasant

in a frosty field

the gun dogs’ yelp

half a stone dyke

covered in frost

the north face
