Night Words After The Diner
The whisky went straight to my legs
my eyes, my arms, my tongue
I was experiencing things differently
Felt Earth spinning off its axis
It became a place I did not know
Did I need more drinking practice?

n.b. Night photo was taken to capture the empty street scene, but it came out weird, with evidence of existence of the Yeti…alive and well in East Anglia. It is certainly cold enough in Norfolk for Yeti.
Pubs now open in England, outside drinking only. Short rhyme prompted by photo. No pubs were visited during the making of this moving picture.
n.n.b. Off-prompt NaPoWriMo 2021 Day Fifteen scribble.

streaked willow shade
riffled river disrupts light

Sun projected pine shadows

On Grey / On Gray
Start with grey and then
add more grey. In the right light
grey’s quite beautiful

L3 (Day 60): On The Quay
It is six p.m. and the day’s light withdraws reluctantly at the ignition of the street lamps. Fish are snapping through the meniscus of the Wensum. They leave soft rippling circles that are eventually smoothed by the thickening dusk.
Another lighter, but cold day.

On Time
Evening light returns
fills the gaps between trees
branches unfurl leaves

n.b. There was still light in the sky after 17:30h on Monday evening. Everyday we move forward a little more.

L3 (Day 43): Carrow Hill
Here’s white light, no heat
Heaven’s lights will shine bright tonight
In this brilliant galaxy
how will you hear
the star that calls to you?

Lockdown 3 (Day 21) Daylight
There was very little daylight today, but it has been milder and what light there has been has lasted a little longer than previous days. Today the Sun is up from 07:46h to 16:30h, tomorrow it be from 07:44h to 16:33h a net gain of five minutes.
This morning I heard a wider variety of birdsong than I have heard for a while. It reminded me of waking each snowy day near the Jura when on a trip there in 2018. That weekend there was a wall of song rolling down from the mountain sides as dawn broke. I was briefly transported back there this morning.
I need to swot up on birdsongs. It was not just blackbirds, pigeons, crows and blue tits. The orchestra is reforming.
