I continue my current penchant for lower case.

the sun is higher at noon


the sun is higher at noon now
no forty-five or lower degree angles
of light blasting from the other side of corners
you have not yet turned

the light itself is sharp
its contrast high
in comparison to how
it was a month ago

though the buildings are still
Victorian with modern concerns
the people on the street too
stress they are here and now

colours vary unlike the inherent
charm of a similar scene
in sepia photographs that
do not move and have no sun

have no corners round which
to turn and then blink
with delight when you reach
the sun just after noon

when it glitters too
round a curlew that feeds
at the edge of the river
on the opposite side when you reach it

and find there are no more corners
to turn and leave behind
only space and a horizon to intimate
more than sepia more than modern
