hands on steering wheel
staring at the breaking blue
just thoughts of respair
P.S.
respair ; is an old English word meaning … a recovery and a return to hope

an empty car park
leaves gather in sunken space
cracked iron cast grate
walkers on the road
avoiding jogger’s droplets
social distancing
after the rainfall
flowers droop from their brown pots
footprints of a cat
outside garden wall
purple tulips are blooming
wish that I could paint

Last Wednesday I had a meeting at a large company. Pulling in, it was difficult to find a parking space. After a couple of laps, one appeared. Preparing to get out, I noticed a monument opposite, with people sitting on a bench. When the meeting was over, went and had a look at the monument.
withered hedgerow frames
the remembrance monument
memories engraved
beside monument
naming passed over workers
people eat their lunch

the rain falls slowly
traffic moving at snail’s pace
roadworks and rainbows
city’s eastern edge
awash with sunshine rainfall
it’s spring’s first rainbow
before the storm hits
yellow daffodil hearts bloom
drive to funeral
