Afternoon Drinking

#writeclub

Sparrows dance around the birdbath

in the hope the cold water will cool them of

expectations – that the landlord of their garden inn

supplies a big enough refill of the snacks

tasty morsels to go with the cool

aqua mineral in the stone pool

Sat outside a city taverna

in the shade of a parasol keeping out of the sun

enjoying a drink with your workmates

shade a happy escape from the

torment of an oven roasting office

air conditioning now provided by the coastal breeze
