Poem

I'm pretty impressed with how beautifully  
the paint peels from the sparkling post box,  
how grass is iced into uniformity,  
the edges of leaves highlighted so I can't forget the world is magic

although, I'm mesmerised by a stripe of fluorescent paint too,  
the way a 'for sale' sign tilts but doesn’t give up,  
pockets of warmth following underground pipes ~ making shapes on pavements

the huddled insides of the shrubs protecting each other
bin lids /half in the sun/ glittering with frost, melting into gloss for high-shine contrasts

and me, wearing grey earmuffs I got to twin with my daughter for the walk to school 
that I decided I love 
~ and my very best gloves, bought the day we went ice skating
