Wearing a face mask –
My glasses are steaming up ~
Beware the lampposts!
At Killiney Beach –
Perfect for a lockdown walk ~
Too many think so.
Bipinnate, glaucous –
The Acacia’s new growth ~
Asking to be touched.
Starting an old book –
It’s surprisingly cozy ~
Stoker’s Dracula.
Warrior pose II –
Trying to remain focused ~
Goldfinch distracts me.
Try to fix a watch-
But I destroy it instead ~
A waste of my time.
Old cassette tape found –
Ghosts of great uncles, singing ~
I can’t stop smiling.
Garden pottering –
‘Phone elsewhere on the charger ~
A quiet moment.
Trying news lenses –
Concentric varifocals ~
Brain fills in the gaps.
Find an old painting –
Did I do that? Old poems ~
Who was it wrote those?
