pleased to hear of the funds

for that bike

go get it soon





i was drawing yesterday

and if things continue

as they are

i shall be here drawing some time





while

that is a comfort

much else is cancelled





work today

then a week

of social distancing





as it is now known.

to walk across the shingle bank

at low tide is possible



watch them



the current is strong

screaming at the cold



#soverycold.

near the private bits



the young go first breaking the air with hints

and sharper cracks  urging  brothers         on



elders have sticks, hold hands, help

each other



cross safely



their dogs leap over with only the sound of water



at low tide only

(written 2 months back)

just to say that i am making changes due to the current situation.



will be working from home, and avoiding social interactions to

help prevent spread





why behave as normal when things are not normal

hope to see you  all when we are out the other side

i searched for serviette here
with small success, some years
back i discovered it too
how the ink soaks backand made a thing of it
i like it when things happen

in my head i hold a list
of things to do that seem
like magic
to me

it was one from costa and i think
is in my other files
you know

now social distancing
more than usual

costa

with capitals and longer sentences
she said i was odd, so i took that ok.

yet when later i said she was odd, she
said it was an insult……………



i washed my hands until they came shiny & ever
so slightly sore

i often say that

i think my work, my soul is in my chest



he said  when you are dead your work

becomes your heart

your name a brand



i like that first bit

not the second bit



he is dead

karel lek

such a thing while some are older
and quite particular; find their own
ways around things

look back and see the pretty room
stove glowing where we toasted buns

folded paper

where the cow lives up the lane, where
we sit by the window to phone each
other

the rain came early
the rain came heavy
as forewarned

i wearied
so
today i stop
a while

to

remember the little image
in my mind

weather warning
again
yet no numbers
no more
