Friday Images

1.

Listening to the tussling wind,

as dried leaves scuttle

and crackle on concrete

2.

The gum tree’s khaki leaves

intensify against an opaque

cloudy grey sky

3.

The barista brings my coffee –

a musical man of love,

dancing with joy

4.

Idiosyncratic characters

on my local streets –

offering comfort in their 

consistent presence
