The hour between 6am and 7,
The cracks in between the curtains,
Light streams in,
Alarm clock breaks the nights silence,
Intruding on his sleep,
In another place an exhausted nurse heads home,
Night shift over,
Leaves the overcrowded ward,
Falling into bed,
The hour between 6am and 7,
Cars leave the ordered estate to find their spot in office car parks ,
Working from home is almost over,
The sound of the coffee machine cranks up,
The hour between 6am and 7,
The telephone rings
“She died peacefully,”
The nurse closes the curtains to respect the dead.
The hour between 6am and 7,
The Ryanair flight takes off for Lanzo,
A family settles in excitedly looking forward to sunnier climes and dreamy days ahead.

A great collection of images Annette. I particularly liked the lines where the phone rang - she died peacefully. Thanks for sharing
