Week 52: slippery mornings

22.
shopping as an art
the snaking and the threading
the check-out ahead

23.
packing after dark
the recipients asleep
the givers at work

24.
the tension before
the slow unwinding dinner
the tension after

25.
silence as pleasure
emptiness on the main roads
the sky is bright grey

26.
asleep on the floor
you wake me at five o’clock
damn this festive cheer

27.
one whole day missing
energy loss and torpor
the sounds of new games

28.
slippery mornings
walking over ice-packed paths
the sun still asleep
