.note to jim.

early
have rubbed a little place on the window
to see the snow falling

she disliked that
my mum
said it left a mark

that she would have to clean the window
again

never mind the excitement of snow

don’t find it attractive to lay in
you know the angel thing
otherwise the white and quietness
are welcome

at the very bottom of my garden
down by a wood pile and rusting
implements
have come the snowdrop drift

and also
over there and there and
by the gate

i walk outside once a day for exercise
and enjoyment
to explore

then later I walk round the garden
look at every tiny place

today I will take photographs
