Bought plant today –
Jazz playing as I did so ~
Won’t let this one die.
Painting my room white –
Playing Bach Cello Suites, live ~
Applause as we end.
Against all the odds –
Assaulted from many sides ~
A winter blossom.
Rain, then stormy wind –
Handy and tricky in turn ~
Folding tarpaulins.
Backpack left strap slips –
My shoulders’ width uneven ~
Broken collarbone.
Rain pounds my windows –
A comforting sound at night ~
Except for the leak.
