follow the sea
look north
but it's possible to
look south
follow the sea up
to Irwell's mouth,
the Mersey,
or find it
higher
springing
from
Deerplay Moor

thoughts coming and going:
The anxiety I feel in groups of people will be tested tonight.
I've sat long enough to see the sky blanch, and brighten to blue,
watch a tree I see everyday sway in slight wind.
The less I have, the more I see.
Empty space, grace,
my small towels drying quickly.
I love being alone, no songs, just the wind.
