Debussy and Memories.

Debussy

is being played

on the radio.

You slept well

and woke up

to a bright sun.

You remember Lizbeth

teasing you

as she walked along

the fence at school

and lifted her skirt

to reveal her thigh.

You wonder if she

teased others after you

in the sixty years since.

A grey squirrel

searches the lawn

for food watching out

for the cat

that often comes.

You sit and listen

and sip the coffee

and watch the sparrows

flittter to and fro

dive bombing the lawn

for cast out bread.

You remember Lizbeth

and her long ago teasing you

inside your ageing head.

I enjoy classical music. It allows my mind to travel. I pictured this scenario on a bright sunny morning over coffee while watching the sparrows in the garden. What delightful thoughts to filter into an ageing head. Lovely memories of Lizbeth teasing.
