yes now you say the temperature I can see the shaking
hear the breath
i reiterate that I share the excitement both
yours and his
sent it to a friend who likes trains too
i watched an interview of a famous man
talk about his childhood trauma
and how sometimes he takes that child
with him
now
with reassurance
watches the delight at
the experiences
sounds like a good thing to do james
it is not so wet here today
there is time now to wipe the windows
like the others did
now there is furlough with days to spare
as a kid
i watched the water run
waiting
a hope for mint
chocolate
from the shop
those days we were left a while
with time to watch
the water run
so a copy and paste
and hang the washing out
despite the storm
to spite the storm
coming
she said it would be difficult
and it was
the early days
despite predicted text
the wonder was if he came back
to talk things over
or discuss what had happened since
how would the conversation be this time
it is what is wanted
that will never happen
what if he had died that night
and
he rose the morrow morn
love the line
my little room that overlooks
the river
such an image in my mind
my grans are dead
seemed to have three and i don’t know really
there was gran who baked the beans that
i spoke of yesterday though i never ate none
then there was granny pussycat who i never
knew really
and granny wigs
grandads were all gone and missing
except mr palmer who was no relation
and had a good workshop
tidy and interesting and
that is a fact
proper grandad was a green grocer
i was told with a horse and
cart which fell on him
the delivery horses ate the flowers in gran’s
front garden
night scented stocks she said
small changes are coming
having an action twenty times
equals an habit she says
a hundred or more may
be that too
gently gently make those little
amendments
make things interesting
move it about
and dance fast
then dance sultry
stand with the music
look beyond the border
i had some beans at supper
left over from the day before
was not keen no more
gran said they were junk
only she did not use that
word
she baked them herself
did not buy tinned
well
maybe now while comfy here
and not fancying tea just coffee
downstairs
gently
it was a migraine yesterday
with a funny neck and things
went wrong
and the town has covid
a few miles away
i have kept away for a long time
a long long time
and have not missed it
though I did drive through
once to see the changes
there is a chap wrote a diatribe
in welsh with common sense
regarding the pandemic and
the facebook translation is
genius
while at the same time
not any good
and very funny james….
very very funny
good that things come different
that all is not the same
all the time
i could write regarding monotony
then tell you the predicted of which came two
the usual board game and a mode of marriage
accepted some places
illegal the other
she implied she was married
and many assumed so
yet he never divorced
my mother
all things come differing

sleep comes different
with the variety of fabrics
here
linen is dense and natural
as is cotton
only lighter
this cover was not chosen
with the full blown roses
and darkling pink
nestling in the airing cupboard
lower I found it and thought a
change may be nice
and so it is
we sleep lovely
only
i cannot find the pillowcases
that are remembered for being
flouncy
perhaps were discarded with no
design merit
there is no remembrance of the
gathering
yet will remain here as a sleep aid

i slept late
due to the covers
early yet
I have to tell you
that
i went a different way
to avoid the usual
found it was a parkland
with long hedges cut sideways
the back much longer
than the front
to create an anomaly
saw a white egret fly up and over
corrected the predicted from
regret
walked home and watched the news
