Fresh flowers
In the window by the table
My back nestles
Into the chair
With its plain but curved back
Monastic music plays
In this well-populated café
I settled on
The Tunisian Orange cake
Plus a Benedictine slice
With a strawberry milkshake
Halfway through the cake
I decided that a black Americano
Was also in order

Monday morning
Blue sky
Bright sunlight
Wind blowing
Like billy-ho
How far
To the schoolyard
To the maypole
To those memories
Unable to be crystallised
|
| Available on Amazon |
In sunlight
And laughter
If it’s boredom
That you’re after
There’s other places to go
How could I not see
Another part of me
How else to be
With perspicacity
Befuddled
|
| Available on Amazon |
Arrive at The Bothy for one full week
Provisions bought at M&S
So little need for further departures
But absolutely no TV
Even though last night’s
Sky Arts expose of the Moody Blues
Totally captivated me

| Available on Amazon |
My clumsiness
Is fast approaching
A worrying level
Says he
As his coca-cola bubbles over
And floods all across the table top
Meanwhile
A Fever Tree advertisement
Is read out at The Valley
A particularly uninspiring
Shopping centre
On the outskirts of Evesham
On this grey cloud
Monastic Retreat Monday morning
With three more weeks to go
