Kit Kelen #1318 - various blossoms begin


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
