shadows mark summer's decline

n.b. Oblivious of the calendar, I travelled to see family and friends and discover that Brighton Pride is set for the same weekend.
This means a lot of relaxed people, a lot of extravagance and flamboyance, a very large number of police.
So many people having fun, dancing. One young tearful woman being consoled by her friend. There will be hangovers.

laid without ceremony
better things to do?

on the wing
someone is happy
heat from south draws up insects
squeal of swifts sweep roofs

n.b. What joy in the tearaway swooping of young swifts playing tag in between the chimney pots!
