wuffled to speed its curing

Dream #15
spangled moonless night
retreats from black to blue
I spin towards dawn grateful
sleep’s re-hash of ancient noire
will be rubbed out
by exposure to the Sun

Dream #2
chairs edge round
tracking the high Sun’s arc
across the piazza
blue pierced by medieval tower
the cafê name
Italian

what time was it when
Sun projected pine shadows

On Reflection
Yeah, great.
Another sunset. What’s great about that?
Gold, cold, darkness approaches.
Day’s end and time to struggle with the night.
I want, I need, I long to see another sunrise.
Picture that! Another sunrise.
Not much to ask,
is it?

L3 (Day 72): Three Score
What a day of light to enjoy before this year’s Spring Equinox.
Even before I drew back my bedroom curtains the day sounded sunny. The air was soft. The birdsong sharp. The sound of passing cars subdued.
It has been a delight to get outside and walk on more open ground by the Yare, once again running within its banks after the winter floods. On the lower land beyond its slight embankments are large pools of standing water decorated by gulls, swans and mallards. These small, shallow lakes will take a while to seep into the saturated clay soil.
Norfolk has already passed the point of equinox as today enjoyed twelve hours and eight minutes from sunrise to sunset.
Now to turn up the temperature in this godforsaken Frigidaire of a county!
