W Spa

Gentle, peaceful
Warm summer
Except
Yes, except that I remember

That poem I wrote
About a striped wasp

And today
For this the last poem
I am surrounded again
By wasps

Hairdo

I put one step
In front of the other

The morning sun
Warms me

The blue sky
Soothes me

Earlier I meditated
Listening to Quietude

English Summer

It is a few weeks later
The first two cricket test matches
Have been won

The football season
Has started
But not with quite such good results

The summer does continue
Butterflies
Meander through the garden

Autumn is a good way off
Yet we cannot stop ourselves
Preserving jams in preparation

Am I Not

I struggle with Hegel
With his sense
With his sensibility

I thought I was ok
With the here
With the now

Here with the sight
Now with the sound
Here with the smell

Now with the taste
Here with the touch
Now with the feeling

Vantage Point

That outlook
This outlook
Those outlooks
Over fields, and fields, of corn
To the blue, blue-sky horizon

That farmer
This farmer
Those farmers
Ploughing, with tractors
Harvesting, with combines

That summer
This summer
Those summers, never the same
