You never walk in socks in mud Keymer Rhythm

You never walk in socks in mud

mercerised twice
you never walk in socks in mud
always shoes or barefoot
the clay soaks in

did you ever fill your socks with talc?
Home from rugby,
bath,
then talc in your socks to slide on the floor

A pocket theory of carrying

Casting the net out: reaching, collecting, connecting, containing

I knotted this net-work beyond overthinking, tangled thoughts, not-thinking.

Casting on creates the space, tying the first knot is the fishing boat to where the wild things are.

Encounter

I'm glad the days are getting lighter, driving home in the dark isn't fun.

Same, it meant I could finally get the string out of a tree on my way home from work. It's been snagging at me for weeks.
