It is the end of summer, and the air is full of that strange, footless summer breathing. Why does my grandson pant in my ear when I hold him? What is he looking at? The oblongs coloured like jewels along the back wall. These are books. The horizontal streaks of the bamboo blinds on the front door framed in lozenges of coloured glass? You sit for one baby minute after another staring at these.
The grape vine, the plum tree, the basil under the lemon tree. There is too much basil. The died roses, the pegs on the ground, the golden orb webs. We don’t like them, but you do.
Your head wobbles on a stalk not strong enough to hold it still. When you have completed your wobbling examination of a thing you grumble slightly. Time to move on. But once you stared thoughtfully at a lemon for nearly three minutes. Drenched in yellow, we could finally move on. Then we are under the wisteria and startled by purple. The whole house is breathing Max: powder, soap and milk, light, shapes and heat.

Thank you for writing this to me. And thank you also for reading so many of my stories, they are not exciting stories, I only write about the small things but they seem important. I appreciate your time and attention. Kerry

You really make it appear really easy together with your presentation however I find this topic to be really one thing that I feel I might by no means understand. It kind of feels too complex and very extensive for me. I’m having a look forward to your next publish, I’ll attempt to get the hold of it!
