a hint of sunshine
making the day seem brighter
joyful dogs

walking dogs
to an estate sale in Bromsgrove
carrying a rucksack full of stones
the colour of raw salmon flesh.
An old girlfriend buying a jumper
and asking if it suits her.
It does, but that doesn't mean I like it.
pottery, painted with acrylics
the therapeutic nonsense of art classes for the elderly
and my mother-in-law,
knocking a gravestone made of lacquered terracotta
into a meandering river.
a stall selling board games;
I want to buy them all,
though I have nobody to play with
and my collection in the loft
is another boulder in my rucksack.
