grey dusk—

moving branch shapes

join the fallen leaves

from the valley floor...

the ends of a rainbow

join two distant  hills 

almost dark...

between high-rise blocks

a band of  gold light

in a clear blue sky

            just one...

white cloud

after rain...

the ground covered

in skeletal leaves

St. James' Park, London - November 2012

                   the lake at dusk...

                   suddenly a passing coot

                   gives a goose a peck

-------------- Branches --------------

                 waiting for a bus—

                 a crow lands nimbly

                 on a thin branch  

                  park drinking fountain...

                  my boyhood memories

                  clogged & rusty

         frantic moment...

         swan & gulls squabble

         over a slice of bread

moving left to right...

a huge sun emerges

from behind cloud
