Another small stones catch-up from the park to heart art

January 16 - The Park 

Three day cut grass, littered with mottled, moth-eaten gum leaves turning from grass green to olive to patchy tan under the summer sun. The remnants of cut grass, clumped and drying. Scents of fresh compost. 

January 17 - Avocado 

The avocado with blackish brown rough crinkling skin, sliced vertically open around its round wood-like stone, reveals creamy flesh tinged pale lemon but mostly brown.  

January 18 - Heart Art  

At the bottom of my latte glass, the misshapen foamy heart art, swallowed smiling.  

January 19 - The Sky  

The thin blue sky, so high, so high.  

January 20 - The Devonshire Tea 

On a round white plate, two lemonade scones, warm, fluffy, imperfectly round, dusted with sweet icing sugar.  

To the right, home-made conserve, dark red, strewn with seeds and shrunken strawberries, sits plump in a small white round ceramic dish.  

To the left, double cream, thick, off-white, spiralling to a flattened peak, dolloped in an identical ceramic dish.  

All waiting to layer together.  

January 21 - Indulging 

Bright green, Sicilian, un-pitted olives; a slice of off-white ricotta cheese, fresh, soft and loose; slices of bocconcini oozing milky salt paired with bright red grape tomatoes sliced length ways drizzled in olive oil and sprinkled with salt; chunks of octopus with bruised rings dotted with red chili; rustic bread sliced; golden white wine, its coldness condensing on the glass. Indulging favourites.
