I've had a busy time with the day job recently so no postings. This is one
that came out of the day job. It's still under construction and some comment
would be valuable at this stage.
PLANNING DAY
Outside the window
beside the space where our speaker speaks
there is the end of a high stone wall.
Running ninety degrees to the wall
is a wooden fence
its top covered in green algae.
Beyond the fence
through ovehanging cedar branches
I thought I could see the sky -
realise now it is the white walls of a house.
Somewhere off to the right the sun has just come out
and shines through the cedar leaves and branches -
casts light a shadow on the wall and fence.
The light filtered through the leaf fronds
serves to disperse the sense of being
inside a room with no option
other than to stay put all day.
A cat has appeared on the wall
its antics of more interest than our speaker.
I notice the window is also a fire door
and a green sign says - push bar and open.
I feel its a sign, an auger - is good
makes me feel content
there will always be this option.
