Transitions by Elizabeth Holt

TRANSITIONS is about some of those times in life 
when changes happen: the loss of love; events in 
the past whose effects are hard to shake off; the 
shock of change that comes with ageing.
​
More recently, there are the enforced changes 
that the 2020 pandemic brought. But then, 
nature shows us that change need not be a bad 
thing — it can bring joy too.

I am prepared:
Soup and bread in the freezer;
Kitchen cupboards filled 
with cans
of every kind of food;
Analgesic in the tin box
Nestling beside the wasp-sting spray...
