Summary: We're in another Mercury retrograde (often mentioned by me as "another bloody retrograde"). Stuff just goes wrong, travel plans in particular and as a dedicated passenger, this can be tedious. However, it can also be a time of looking back and reflecting. I've been doing 13 hour days this week (stock take), stressing and eating my feelings, so I'm obviously still in a bit of a retrogrady mood :-)




White noise chatter.
My mood,
quicksilver
in the shiver
of irritation.
 
Bus delays.
The smur
of rain you
cannot see
that still
saturates.
 
How was this
my dream?
My escape
from a town
that became
too small?
