Cloudy with tiny air bubbles, the light sparkles as it refracts through clear liquid and thick glass. The bubbles rise and dissipate. What was magic becomes everyday.

29th January 2013 – workman

28th January 2013 – wet and windy
The wind rises up like a wave and flings a snowball of rain against the window. I look up just in time to see the tree branches retreating wildly, as if to say “It wasn’t us!”

A wasteland of water, mud, ice and frozen snow, like the trenches in winter. Yet out of this horror rise firework trees, rocketing upwards, the ginger tinge on their branches promising a burst of colour in the Spring.

22nd January 2013 – snowman

21st January 2013 – glasses
The left lens droops, hanging on grimly, with only a clumsy blob of sticky tape to keep gravity at bay. Absent-mindedly, she fiddles with the tape, pushing the lens into a straighter position. She stares into space, perhaps dreaming of … Continue reading
