It's Still Life

Another bowed head day
her trudging uphill all the way
(or so it seems)
across the ice whilst
ignoring the early sun
catching the trees,
not noticing nature's beauty
nor the bloke with the camera
capturing the walking, coated, scarved,
head bowed her with her freezing toes
and all her woes.

This is my fastest blip so far. I took the photo through a window.
Cropped it. Processed it. The words are an instant response to the image.
It took me as long to write as it will have taken you to read it.

I might well look at it later and think 'What rubbish.' Publish and be damned eh?
