a nest with conifers hanging off it,
a whippet the colour of a yellow labrador,
a small boy clutching an amber recorder in one hand
and his mother's hand in the other,
a jogger in black, her red hair swinging in a pony tail,
an abandoned cup in someone's front garden
advertising Thirsty Fun,
a discarded packet of cigarettes
bearing the image of a diseased lung next to a healthy one,
the smell of soup mingled with fried onions,
the chatter of magpies

What I saw on one stretch of road, walking home from dropping Jake off at nursery this morning. Everything I see seems so connected, I'm having trouble separating them and picking just one.

My favorite part: --bearing the image of a diseased lung next to a healthy one--
Lovely poem. Thanks for the description @ bottom.
I think you connect them all together beautifully xx
