A couple of observational poems this post.
The first is of a scene I passed by one morning.
two women smoke
first fags of the day
stand by their car's open doors
near a care home
whose uniforms they wear
it is not yet seven am
they savour each second
The second relate to my first visit to Barcelona many years ago
Barcelona
one cold sleet February
our breath smoke
in chilled rented room
so we stay out as long as we can
haunt shopping malls
free exhibitions
original language cinemas
but end up walking cold streets
each morning finds us entwined
reluctant to leave the warm bed
I leave you with The Decemberists Rox in The Box. They were good last Thursday. I love the way they weave The Princess Royal, a Morris tune into the song.
