Was reading Tolstoy’s 'What is Art?' this morning- unexpectedly funny. His tirades against Wagner are so gloriously petty, it’s hard not to admire. We should all write books like this when the world gets on our nerves- dressing up irritation as intellectual rigour.

Edge of salt,
breath of ancient gods-
grains, silent witnesses,
carrying the light
of endless tides.

And on the Sixth Day in Manchester,
the earth hummed beneath the concrete,
music threaded through brick and rain,
and only those who listened heard it rise

I was drawn to this rusted bench overlooking the sea. I wonder how many memories happened here... Even in decay, there is beauty, perhaps just transformed.
