frost-rimmed window panes
frame the sun’s oblique ascent
a fluffed-up bird waits

breath
dressing in the cold
cloudy breath and stamping feet
colours blue and gold
leaf
the morning sky smudged
from grey through yellow through pink
a single leaf falls
air
pastel painted sky
the soft crunch of passing feet
a nip in the air
socks
in my top drawer
beneath my socks – chocolate
winter sustenance
rim
over the Earth’s rim
a tentative sun peeps out
women clear rubble
shadows
as the leaves darken
sun assumes its autumn stance
oblique shadows fall
afternoon
timeless afternoon
meeting friends of thirty years
sharing memories
dry
passing by our gate
morning walkers and their dogs
a bowl licked quite dry
hot
a hot upward draft
scrapes a branch against a wall
a dozing bird blinks
