maybe it is easier to climb that way

bending toes to grip

then to feel the rain early

pad through the hallway

leaving wet

marks

it is raining early

the power restored
since four

no one is about yet
only one cat waiting

I used to leave my shoes on the
garden wall
and play

leybourne avenue

the window is open and the breeze

blows the door

squeaking and i like the sound
