#lockdown london

At lunch today I wandered to the park. Took a few moments with my McDonalds (werid, haven't had one in over a year!) before ravens descended. I ended up feeding them both buns off my cheeseburger and half the wrap of my wrap. I nodded at each one in turn when I was throwing the bun to that specific bird and much like a dog to a ball that specific raven would fly up to catch it. They were quite polite to each other, letting each one get it's turn. Had a fucking great time. Oh and two pigeons sat on the bench next to me eating from my hand which proffered parts of ketchuppy bread towards them.

Walk inspired these notes:

"He lives in the liminal

Where the brambles entangle silver grates

Where the ivy shakes in the trains wake where they come and go along graffiti lines

He shines out of the colour between lines

Where 'vibes' and 'atg' are stamped

Where blooms peek gently from bush and thorns

He's hanging from the electric lines

In the beauty of crossing lines

Iron structures and rusted beauty

He's the magpie calling in the rain from the stark line

He's calling to me from the copper rust the tones of his beard play out across pole tops and the colour of his eyes is found on the moss that creeps, that never stops

When I'm lost and lonely

I walk to the space between

And I'm not alone"

Rewritten by 7pm, will post new version soon.

Ease of Lockdown: Hiking in Kent

With the ease of Lockdown, I wanted to go out freely and do things that I love, shopping, eating, and having coffee but somewhere deep down  I was a bit skeptical about freely out and about.
