A weekend in Aldeburgh, attending a wedding on the longest day of the year.

midsummer wedding

bride and groom and child are one

in legal binding

*

church bells ringing out

confetti on the gravestones

disturbing dead dreams

*

please be upstanding -

happy couple cut the cake

photographs taken

*

I'm too old to dance

to the music of my youth -

where did the time go?

***

walking around town

musical sounds fill the air -

John Cage remembered

*

sun beats down, burns neck

gull shadows on the shingle

arms and legs turn brown
