Greeting me beyond the curtains
long bright line of sky
of course, the sun isn’t full in the sky yet
when it is look forward to seeing the blue

Views from a Window
I
Facing Swathe’s of Green
Little fruits play hide and seek
under leafy shade
II
Tomatoes Blushing
Star of the evening platter
by the battered cod
III
Empty vines begin
growth of some brand new red fruits
new fruits taking shape
#fowc #stairs
Some would say – ascending to new heights
travelling by foot between one floor and another
aiming to reach the other floor
in time for your central heating to kick in
relaxing in your cosy sitting spot and watching
snowflakes passing the bedroom window

“A Window Lit”
Salford , 27th January 2019
I once lived by the job centre
not a place to gladden the heart
it matched the grey clouds above
but as people moved in
the ministry men moved – Manchester bound
and construction men moved on to the ground
there’s people at work – now living you see
at the old home of the Ministry
and when the sun sinks past horizon at night
their windows are lit up – all shiny and bright
Each piece carefully crafted
laid out and fixed into place
creating a picture for the eye
sometimes you have to take a step back
but as you do the pieces of the jigsaw come in
sharp in focus
Salford 23rd August 2018
Squeaky doors
are better clarion calls
than any alarm clock
on the market
Slumbered silence
broken by a cistern
attracts you to the noise
of the nearby main road
Luna’s departure
allows Ra to announce
“The morning is here!
it’s time to get up”
And motorised monsters
or kings of the road
make their way delivering boxes
either side of the tarmac
Solitary Swallow
converses with the neighbours
on a nearby roof –
tweets the news – no laptop required
The rumble of early morning traffic
cascading through the windows
is followed by the crack of an egg
falling into sizzling bacon fat
Kettle whistles through the concrete
up through the bedroom floor
your first cup of the day is ready
milk and two sugars ?

Salford, 29th July
Seen through the wide window
Pictures begin to form, captured by the lens
Everyday artworks, appear in a full spectrum of
Colour, bringing life to
The scene in front of you
As you press the button, and release the shutter –
Camera captures your view of things, as you
Looked through the glass in front of you
Exciting events – brought to life in an instant
I sat watching by the window
as two quarrelling brothers
traded blows over a tree outside
both lay claim on this tall green beauty
and each tried their hardest to get it for themselves
but as day turned into night
the tree stayed rooted to its spot
and neither brother got what they wanted
opting to play with some fallen leaves instead
Salford 1st February 2018
Go on, dive in!
there’s plenty more
said the rich man sat at the table
of the restaurant store
but while he and his friends
where dining on goose
with veggies and stuffing and strawberry mousse
the waiters tears softly dropped to the floor
for whilst those at the table ate more and more
looking through window – were the eyes of the poor

Faro, the algarve, Portugal
What I woke up to this morning.
call it the last breath of summer
pine trees swaying in the warm air.
christmas come early ? Perhaps
