hurling the pétanque boule, her thin little arm
sandal coated in mud washed by the hose
late home for lunch — avocado on toast
beneath the magnifying glass, Scottish castle
above the bananas a bridge at Firenze
sharing his handkerchief — bridge on the video
the “lucky dog” silent in its box
watching a butterfly he shields his eyes from the sun
each time she removes her glasses the stem scratches her temple
stampede at the Temple — news report from India
after their busy day, quiet conversation
pleased with the day's work — his coastguard insurance
