you have been holding on a long time
hemmed in with printed lines
enhanced with ink
blobs
now your name may be redeemed
your wanderings freed into new
adventures
or maybe you will still stay inside a while
inside the boundary lines
four fields
corona
free from
no additives
the drawing come simple
drew them together on the same page
yet locked in
when the rules have changed
so i cuts them out into a sort of freedom
yet they finds it difficult to manage
as yet
some
things take some time…
have you been to the wild wood?
not the one down the lane here
that is private and inaccessible
now
the one down the road by the estuary
is all mossy and twisty paths
which requires a lot of watching the step
and with that comes the discovery of
certain twigs of the right colour and design
during lockup we only saw ours
now come many varieties
to enjoy and at a later day
gather
for now we learn the paths
watch the ways of the wood
while opposite
the wood
men
balance carefully
in orange vehicles
gathering
we watched the videos on you tube
the various methods without power
tools
just a hammer
i wonder if the age of mine was limiting
rusted screws or nails I could not tell
liked the logic yet resorted to sawing it up
now left with lumpy ends
a decision is made to store those
so will tidy the pig sty today
to make room
and designated areas
down the lane he has made a splendid bench all shiny perfect
and drilled holes in my old baking tins
thankyou
“Hurry burry refers to a busy, boisterous activity. Surprisingly this English term was borrowed & derived from a Tamil word – Arakka parakka (அரக்க பறக்க ). To move or do things more quickly than normal is termed as Parapara (பரபர) in Tamil”
..curry..
so we takes our time these days
wash hands carefully
pinafore and radio on
dancing
think of our mum as we chop the onions
how she added curry powder and sultanas
to the baked beans
as a savoury
a nod to another culture
she never knew.
a nod to the war rationing still in place
slowly add in more ingredients while
whirling gracefully in the boots that
have become more appropriate
now
now
we wait a while and let it rest
there is no hurry any more
there never was
then later eat it slowly
no hurry burry curry
no reply from you this morning
perhaps you are out on your bike
again
again
there is snow on the mountain
a pinky glow
she said that it was the coldest night for years
and I forget how many
already
already
there are plans for the day
having watched the video
on how to do it
how not to do it
is brute force
apparently
no bashing
they flew up so quickly i could not catch them
and the bus too far away
someone commented these sunny days that glare on the phone obscures the subject anyhow
a case of point and shoot blindly
yet I saw the swallow yesterday
heard it had arrived on social
hengwrt posted
later I went down the estuary
to walk the wood
the tide was up so wandered back to see the cowslips and the photographer knelt in wet grass
a real camera
james
walking further put up a heron
and while watching saw the
white egret
and a double decker bus
jim
pleased about the photos
i thought it was like a different
world up there
some of it is national trust
with douglas firs and violets
there is a bench for to lay
to see the tree tops and i
told her that I did not use it
being a growed up
she said she doubted that
a lot
walked back along the road
to see the new lambs
waved to the farmer on her quad
bike
she also reads the meters
round here
jim
crow bird,
pecks package.
hoping for a sandwich.
b.l.t.
