Reprieve from Now by Ben EvansThe buzzing of bees, and silence of honey
A child waits at a zebra crossing
Dry, wet and again dry, tortoise-shell shelter
A last goodbye, vibrations in a wire
A puddle by a river and beyond, the sea
The interactions of galaxies, an insect moves flowers
Seven tears shed, embraced as laughter
Coins in an upturned hat, elsewhere, starch on shirt collars
Glowing amber streetlights, birdsong, the clock strikes three
