Unscheduled time being so unfamiliar I scissor deadheads from the flowers. Sit. Check the bank account. Prepare some post. Ponder on lunch. Boil pasta, pluck leaves from the garden. Crush them, smell juice on my fingers. Remember some leftover mango. Strain the penne, mix herbs and fruit. Savour the unlikely combination aware, that with no crushing weight on my neck I can breathe.
