Posy
safe tonight stand guard here
by me petal
pale inked cotton indigo
on sea-stain hydrangea
assembled with the stamen-button centres
of a 1960’s sofa
hold tight to the warm
fur of those upright
kangaroo paws let them reach
out to the lisianthus standing mauve
close to hand the furled umbrellas
loaded set for bloom
insects come through the screens
ReplyDeleteit's the heat
the old rules won't apply
hope for rain
keep up the water
Kit I wrote a poem for you to respond, kind man but you know, I couldn't do it in one day! It is coming.
