Midway

Moss grows on the lean-to shed roof

The singer sings of soft red roses

The guitar player picks away at the weeds


Stillness stands all about, through to the horizon

Another day without a wind; smoke clouds

Postcards on the mat, waiting by the door


Would love have walked any gentler way

With apple crumble and clotted cream

A smile deepened with each return


Unsteady for a few moments

Eyes back into the landscape

Plans laid out by Capability Brown


One step and then one other

Taken with a tremble into the cool breeze
