a purple foxglove
stands proud amongst the grasses
of our unmown lawn

herons
two herons swirling
bright against the silver moon
an embroidered cloth
blue
a summer meadow
flowers stuck in our dog’s fur
blue forget-me-nots
grey
since lock-down ended
apprehensiveness remains
still holding my breath
bed
occupied shower
awaiting my turn to wash
I fall back to sleep
pebbles
a wind turned to cold
the sound of tumbling pebbles
washed up on the shore
canvas
delicate pink wash
a smudge above a treeline
on a dark canvas
welcome
little cushioned cheeks
tiny fingers stretching out
welcome little man
modesty
in modesty the
elephant’s ears hang over
it’s fine pink flowers
door
a wind picking up
changing its direction
a door slamming shut
