Sheathed sward

On the day:

On the day: 
The winter green sward is smothered in the detritus of autumn - sticks and leaves from the naked trees that shiver beyond the spikes of the fence, and an empty beer can. 
Still, the green struggles through the mat of greys and browns, and around the shiny splash of blue and yellow. Grassy stalks are bent, prickly weeds bullish but they are united in their struggle. 
It's no longer revolution, it's not even resistance. This time of year it's about survival and the snow has yet to come. But, come the spring, say the sward stewards, "Brothers and sisters we will rise again and the platform, the station and world will be ours."
