Importunate
daylight
insinuates
itself through
curtain
cracks. Duvet is a feeble shield.
Bathroom
sunlight slants modestly
Thanks
to venetian blind.
The
shower issues a blessing;
Gentle
introduction to the burden
of waking hours.
In
the garden, irresponsible ebullience
of
birdsong!
And
snowdrops, defiantly pristine.
Even
Jack of the deep freeze
can’t
rob them,
of
their ballerina moment.
Everywhere,
frozen water,
loud
and proud.
Back
field is a colour chart
of
melting orange lines.
As
I defrost the windscreen
Ice
peels like buttercurls.
The
ebony hours are subsumed
in
morning liquid gold!
Fingers
tingle as new day
nips
at knuckles!
Robert
Hoyle. Circa 2012
