light up
it
isn't the eye
alone
to see
the
birds
light
up a branch
the
whole tree
is
crowded with stars
as
if time came
to
bloom here
as
if all ages
were
in the tree
and
suns to come
as
well
the
bird takes off
for
another branch
in
another tree
all
hearts
are
with it now

coronation at school
ReplyDeletethis tree’s been made queen by a crown of cockies
— but now that’s been knocked off like a
policeman’s helmet in an old film,
the empty playground dazzles, coffee grains of light
paddle brown
underfoot
each one’s pulsing with the time
in infinite different parts of the cosmos
