and then there is light

ohh the blue filter
on the sky
the warmth
of sun
is the colour amber
a hot toddy
for the spirit
today

I went for a walk with
my boy
and the river caught the light too
burned
magnesium bright
against the bobbing bird
with its feet
in furious motion beneath
the dazzling reflection
of water

two Japanese girls
peace-signing
among the cherry blossom

a phone box colour-drunk
overflowing in light
the flotsam
of stickers graffiti
scribbles
chlorophyll
tapping its window

everything
every single thing
my mind - alight- can conjure

but a phone
