sudden flash
of blue-grey down
hedge sparrow
safe
but not too safe
good friends
sun on water
the random glancing
of your eyes
perdition
a good place
to find yourself
scanning the faces
small dog
on busy pavement
rogue rodent
scurries under the shelving
pet supermarket
midnight calm
poised
between days
among the seed-heads
one blue clematis
this year’s or next?
snow-covered hedge
ice-palace
for sparrows
mayflowers
fading on the branch
stars at daybreak
a little rusty
elderly jackdaws
hurry off the road
now here
now gone
jumping spider
