rain taps at window
wind pushes open door so
moonlight may enter.
*
through the open door
snow sneaks in...covers letters
on the WELCOME mat
*
through the letter box
a snow storm of Christmas cards
covers sleepy cat
*
long shafts of sunlight
delivered through letterbox
only post today
*
hand stretched to limit
stuck through letterbox just not
able to reach – key.
*
a Monday morning
bills & more bills welcome me
on new WELCOME mat.
*
an old door with new
lick of paint blazes yellow
as a daffodil
*
old dear comfy chair
can’t hear the milkman’s whistle
being dead a week now
*
Spring assaults the bees
assaulting the new flowers
amongst the tombstones
