Invited to join Mindful Writing Day I wrote this 'small stone', inspired by the bushes in St Peter's gardens, Wolverhampton (in Lichfield St, between the Art Gallery and Barclays Bank)
Ranks of squat bushes sit in stillness,
an air of held breath. I send my sympathy,
imagine roots clenched like children’s toes
against the chilblain
frozen cold to come.
