Woods

Sanctuary


This place is in my head when I am in a crowd
going to work, or on a noisy street where
the video store and the CD shop are competing
for passing eyes and ears,

when I'm breathing in the 8 am traffic
or braving the hot rain coming back from lunch
or squeezing into a lift full of impatient colleagues,

I am thinking of a sunny place,
sitting under a shade of green trees
and having a picnic.
