bare branches those in sunlight those in shade one pink mitten on a post


everywhere grey but for the tangle of pink earphones in a puddle


last week red with poppies mauve with mallow this week yellow with coltsfoot


curtains the blue gap the white cloud that’s drifting across it an ache


nine small sunflowers in a vase the bee that keeps visiting and the dog


while our dogs ignore each other teach me another word in Hindi
