Something stole an hour.
Silenced a blackbird; opened
A door for Winter.
Something stole an hour.
Flicked a broken switch; opened
A bank for bandits.
Something stole an hour.
Caused laughter in Rome; opened
A beggar’s blind eye.

This is great. I love the tone of it and the evident discipline in putting the thing together. Can’t say I miss all that changing of the clocks.
Thanks, Jan. That is most appreciated. I still don’t understand the clock thing. Something to do with lighter mornings and schools. Are the UK the only country left doing this?
Welcome back.
Hi, yassy. Thank you. It feels good to be back. Looking forward to reading your work again.
