it is a slow fire today
in the garden with a
lot of green stuff
smoking gently
unlike the holly
cuttings which exploded
with flame & fury needing
constant attendance
it may be a long job
some things are &
need a positive mind
with thought for others
up at dawn before them
all came quiet here yesterday
we worked in the garden making
we worked in the house making
while in the studio time stood still
i learned from him to let them chatter
to not to care nor reply
to change the subject kindly
some want to go on holidays
one wanted visitors
when she has them daily
except on sunday
down the lane
they had sunday dinner and wondering
why some folk eat different that day
googled and find it was to do with
church attendance
initially
with meat james lots of meat
my mum made that with gravy
we did not go to church only
sunday school
with stories james
just stories
i do not have sunday dinner
i have dinner
on a sunday
i brought the outside ladder
back inside
smoky joe
