avoiding collision risk

there are too few hours

on time

temperature drop
counter-measures introduced
slow tick-tock of clock

~

n.b. Chilling in front of a fire.

on time

we scraped snow off lines
kicked the ball through heavy flakes
played as if still kids

~

n.b. Such fun to be able to run and slide about chasing a football for an hour, even when the air temperature is less than zero.

on Iran

four thousand life years
imprisonment for protests
woman, life, freedom

~

n.b. The tyranny under the theocracy tightens. 400 protestors x 10 years each for daring to question the validity of Iran’s legislature.

Executions are also being carried out.

featureless echo

n.b. Forgetting is an essential survival skill. Thankfully we cannot call up actual pain, just the memory of having been in pain.

watch for deer, buzzards?

n.b. Bignor Hill, West Sussex, toward the mouth of the Arun, (I imagine).

Painting by Elsie Marian Henderson (1880-1967).

on Ukraine

first frozen windscreen
sunlight now in monochrome
thank our lucky stars

~

n.b. Moscow’s robber barons must be carrying a lot of pain for them to seek to inflict such suffering on others. Here, in the UK, we just have to face up to winter’s heartless weather.

on time

ebb tide at full flow
cables neatly stowed on deck
lines pulled taut, sails full

~

n.b. A ship can wait only so long before the tide turns. Many a ship sails without its full complement.
