Dombey and Son

I went through to Kirkby for my appointment with the solicitors … so very glad I backed off the guy online and this was an infinitely better experience.
I then proceeded to get stuck up here and spent a couple of hours waiting for the extremely helpful Wayne of the AA who got out of his van saying ‘you couldn’t have chosen a more remote spot!’ and with good humour and efficiency got me back on the road again. I had good company as I waited, the air was full of lapwing, skylark, curlew and grouse.

World Earth Day … tricky choice for a poem, there were various ones I was drawn to posting …

or than all life more death begins to grow

end’s ending then these dolls of joy and grief
these recent memories of future dream
these perhaps who have lost their shadows if
which did not do the losing spectres mime

until out of merely not nothing comes
only one snowflake(and we speak our names
