Country House


Breakfast
A view of the lake
Surrounded by frosted grass

The singular willow
On the waters edge
One is moved, taken off, as if to the ballet

To those elegant and slim dancers
Investing in us with their passionate movement
Pronouncements of beyond humanity gestures

The bare carcasses of old trees
Reminders of the effects of age
Demonstrative of the scarecrows we become

Earlier
There was a pink sheen
The effect of the sun slowly taking it's place
In the morning’s, south-westerly, silver-grey sky



A poem from Nameless Places and Hospital Gowns - Love Cared for by Relate available from iTunes and Amazon
