When you've fallen off, shush. Reconnect.
Slowly sinking in, familiar, strange.
Familiar books like faces. Voices out of range.
Faces whispering. Indirect.

Calm like company, trees recollect.
Calm like change
Settled in the pickle jar. Colours rearrange.
Windows reflect.

Between the in-breath and the out-breath, the pause.
The oiled hinge facilitates the door.
A hum which hardly registers as a sound.
A lull between effect and cause.
The tide relents, retreating from the shore,
Releasing the drowned.

I fancy a day off from doing these So let's keep it brief. Warm sunny day. Builders next door hammering away. Breakfast. Walked into town to Sainsbury's: More gin, rump steak, salad stuff, cheese. A few people on the streets; mostly they Kept their distance. Still, I'd say The lockdown is creaking. Days like these It's hard to resist the pleasures of outdoors. Staying in like me (watching Murder, She Wrote ) Seems the greater crime; the forecast's cold After today, so everyone ignores The wagging fingers. Days when the overcoat Is cast aside, like the vulnerable and the old.

Between various meals I stare At the TV without interest. Let today be done. Sweep it away. Pointless guff. The hour has run. Nothing to say. Enough, enough.
