Day 14 – Foraging

I ran out of milk
so I went to the shop.
First time in a week.

At 8 o’clock,
there was no queue outside.
The aisles were empty,
but the shelves were full.
I didn’t want much
till I saw what they had.

Kale, a swede and kiwi fuit;
cheddar and brie and mini pork pies
(I always get those).
Parsley and basil
in pots for my window.
Live Greek yogurt
and UHT milk,
so I can make more.

Couldn’t find hummus,
but I got Brussels pate,
two bottles of wine
and two chocolate choux buns.

Dark choc digestives
and dark Choco Leibniz;
cat food, and matches
for incense and candles
with my morning yoga.

No decaff ground coffee,
I forgot the cheese twirls.
And I almost forgot
the milk.
