Look

This room is grey
Even with my eyes fast closed
It is too small for colour.
Yet bold, insistent
Insolently red
The Robin on my sill
Sings for breakfast
Calls me to the green and blue
The colours of my garden, 
Vibrant within my small horizon.

Books by a window

Just before Corona kicked in

Notebook and Fountain Pen

Of quill pens and keypads: the psychological urgency of life-writing

Swirling water

Never to be seen again

Storm through a window

Dreaming
