Mist in the square

More poems written on the train this morning. This week I have enjoyed listening to Music for 18 Musicians, by Steve Reich. The minimalist chugging a perfect thing to block out the chugging of the train and people talking.

Karam boarded the train in London and sat next to me for 20 minutes, and we walked into work together talking about poetry and other artistic stuff. Tavistock Square looking beautiful the last few days, with a sombre English misty drabness that is quite lovely, and not really captured at all in the snap below.

A fire drill in the morning, and everybody filed out through the nearby streets and gathered in a misty crescent. Otherwise working with Jerry is good, and he was showing me a few things I'd not seen, like photos of heavy chains coated with silk from silk worms. Enjoying the people in the office, and I am there next week too.

Reached home zombie tired. Lorraine had survived a hideous day, and we sloped happily off to the Shahi and had a good meal. Just so happy to be home. The end of the week this time was a destination devoutly to be wished.
