… like a sea-anemone
Or simple snail, there cautiously
Unfolds, emerges, what I am.
Philip Larkin, Best Society
But, contrary to Larkin, the best society is not always solitude…

This week’s Photo Challenge is Sun.
Suspended lion face
Spilling at the centre
Of an unfurnished sky
How still you stand,
And how unaided
Single stalkless flower
You pour unrecompensed.The eye sees you
Simplified by distance
Into an origin,
Your petalled head of flames
Continuously exploding.
Heat is the echo of your
Gold.Coined there among
Lonely horizontals
You exist openly.
Our needs hourly
Climb and return like angels.
Unclosing like a hand,
You give for ever.
Philip Larkin, Solar
