Coming Home



In the east,
shining white windmills
stand still against the high blue
fading to softest pink,
holding their breath,
waiting
for winter southerlies.

In the west,
a child’s black-pencilled seagulls
rise up from their meal
in the remains of the maize field
and fly toward the sun
setting in the luminescent
gold-edged, apricot sunset.

A lopsided
pale silver
moon
watches,
quizzically.


ps I love living where I do, and coming home is always a joy - but particularly tonight.
