Like breath of autumn
When hard frost belies blue sky
Our pain dissipates

Families in park
strolling, talking and playing.
Shops shut, people out!
~
n.b. Sun brought no heat with it and cold currents of air drew rheum to the edge of screen-tired eyes, but everyone who could squeeze into the park was there. People were enjoying the Day of Rest during which only “essential” shops were open. Oh what to do? Go the local parks and perambulate.
When this thing is over it would be a shame if the shops reopened on Sundays. It was lovely to hear the babble of conversation filling Eaton Park. It was like being on holiday in Europe, enjoying the civilising beauty of a Sunday stroll with all generations of families taking the air and talking to each other. Beautiful! Beautiful!

Rush of passing car
Disturbs still autumn morning
Leaf mould scents sunlight

When this wind blows
Things sound different
After the leaves have dropped
To mosaic the floor.
~
This wind bends through the bared boughs
Divides to draughts between the trunks
Blows low notes from the wood
Makes this place an instrument
For mournful tunes
~
When we hear this hollow overture
Howling from beeches and birches
We can be certain winter approaches

Your towel is slipping
Each breath of cool breeze reveals
Stark inner beauty

Grey, cool rain persists
Days run together down drains
Mingling with lost years
