1318

various blossoms begin

for Jean Kent

someone is tipping the world again

and faster than anyone flies

this spin

mulberry’s out trapping sun

various blossoms begin

the cherry and the peach, much crocus

jonquil already and everywhere wattle

so many nameless

and some called weed

out of the compost

first sly salutes

mulch makes its way to life

rose rise

push petals round

and scent the shop

let’s not name the season

shall we say not yet

it’s all sung for

and some will laugh

some to seed

the coriander!

now the branches

breakfast decked

feathers will attend

a lily rise

some trumpet too

fanfare

all for love

the drawing in

showers and shone

plaintive yet

to a regret

involved in such hearts

by no book

myself come to colour

stretch

these shapes!

no one could dream them up

did anyone see the bud come?

who was it first unfurled?

pumpkin sits for its sun

who worships whom is hard to say

or can we catch this conversation

come all ye insects, dance now

we take this world so much as read

it takes us for a spin
