in its heart
a perfect moon

deep in the scroll
her forgotten self
a lullaby flows from the moon

scratched vinyl —
the same lies
on and on

on this lonely night
all my comfort —
vinyl music
a full lockdown year —
birds on the fence watching us
watching them

cleaning my glasses

in birdsong
my every uncertainty
makes the sky empty —
falling stars

how a lizard falls
on his face

to winter

a lone boy's face
against the window

lockdown —
colouring inside
the lines
how many sunrises scattered by the stag's horns
