Dawny day frost dewdrops
change heart
change weather

This mornings findings:
vapour trail streak in sky is flying
crack light
aim, flight
gull gliding
conifers uprising

the road rumbles
its sound stumbles
like shadows of weather vane
on sundial

Seed pods in compost sleep
through this winter's day arrival
a blessed fuel for future yules.

Now:
Eid is coming
the fasting morning light sunning
beliefs worldwide
drop, dive
through oceans of time,
and land mines,
carols, prayers, rituals, tales,
reprisals.

Heavenly bodies trusting
the gusting winds of time
winds of change
winds of fortune

enough to fill these sails,
enough
to make a pair of sailors trousers

We are me, defended
our MAD contract now suspended
the future no longer open ended

one eye
spied on a web cam
one ear
rendered deaf
as the links progress
around the divided world
part cursed/part blessed
with the limits and excess
of world wide denied access

Still I'm troubled and worried if
I should cross you
off
my christmas list.
