Wonderful accompaniment to the drawings. Mundane and yet beautiful. Comforting and yet there is a tension. Classic nostalgia for golden age.

A lot of people are seeing this as a turning point. I’ve been thinking about things changing too. Democracy in particular …

Agreed - and I just read your poem on democracy. Beautifully written and so true.

Very kind. Thank you so much.

With poems I keep tinkering with them for days and weeks.

I’ve tinkered with it a fair bit today and yesterday (predictive text said β€˜water cat’ ?!), but I will probably keep editing and re-editing.

I understand! Just make sure to keep the old versions saved too though! Sometimes you might regret making a change - or it can just be interesting seeing your whole process β™₯︎
