A sinuous cat

stretched out asleep is dreaming

ears twitch, eyes flicker

Your humanity

warms me. When competition

goes appreciate

Socially distant

a colleague smiles through video

children by his side

In the darkest glade

an owl with death on her mind

glides on soundless wings

What I love in you

are those little things that are

just you, only you

In tetchy or in

cranky mood I fight my way

through fragmenting clouds

This hour of the day

is mine alone for quiet thought,

still personal space

Once in times gone by

when the working week was done

happy Friday club

A small piece of fluff

golden in the sunlight

dancing on a thread
