Tick-tocking away
Tick-tocking away
There’s always a child with a device clamped to an ear, eyes down
tick-tocking their soul, You-Tuber baby
Lost in instant thoughts, feelings, aspirations, narrowing horizons,
making them feel good, without knowing who they really are.
Pheasants
Poem for this week, trying to get caught back up!

it’s three or four as a rule.

Black Sun by Peter Kay
Black Sun
There is a black sun rising in the east,
a swirling, shape-shifting schizemic shift.
Twitchers throng, to embrace overhead feast,
each single element of airborne lift
combines to darken crimson blooded sky.
Freewheeling murmuration holds our gaze,
black sun fills binoculars held to try
to capture magic moments, as the day
slips into darkness the throng disperses,
thousands of sturnidae, forever lost.
Hooded crow signals eternal curses
as moon takes centre stage to count the cost.
