My New Year’s First Sunset
Day one of no regrets
For two thousand and twenty-five
My celebratory sunset
Contrives to stay alive
Blessing the twilight sky
With clouds of golden knives
That stunningly silhouetted
The hovering magpies

It certainly was, about 8.00 pm last night, Gina … and nature was putting on a show for me, while Frankie was chasing the bunnies …
