There are more stanzas, but this isn't the best medium for posting....

3/3
Disappearing footsteps, stones, sighs.

2/3
The dappled and tender sunlight through the coven
Of foreign trees, mystery that this is how it is,
The rough forest ground and my eyes
Absorbing flickering prints, a wash too intricate
To dissect and the unpredictable sounds,
Gestures of children, birds, parents. Now

Old poem from 20 years ago - Agape

The moon's a silver pear.
Two-way gaping and getting deeper,
I can't remember where the time's gone or why
I was so sure you could walk on water.

A pair of comedy glasses someone left on the wing.

When I travel by plane, I turn into a single-cell amoeba of anxiety. I cling to familiar bus routes in my mind, self-soothing with phrases like "we've just passed xXx Labour Club" and "I see xXx off-license is looming. I've covered at least 45 minutes now".

Me neither. I'm in Mallorca. I think it's native to more tropical climates. V pretty.

There's that too, yes. All orifices hoovered! Flaps down tight. And take off!

I clean the house like a freak before I fly anywhere. Like it's going to stave off an accident. #weirdbrain

laced with sex and secrets somehow....

I hate to propagate theories and to judge someone I don't know, but I've always felt Sarah Ferguson is shrouded in secrets. Something about her vibe. I bet she harbours more stuff than the Vatican. #random

Paul Klee's "Seeufer bei Regen"

Perhaps a space between fir trees,
A cloud lit up,
Or rain rolling down the mountain
To the sea.

Quick watercolour and poem inspired by Paul Klee's painting "Seeufer bei Regen" (1913)

I see myself in the white places
Where the paint didn't take.
No colour, yet with a sketchy outline,
Undefined,
Blurred.
A paper tear.
