#90 - a moment of sunshine around the garden

90

a moment of sunshine around the garden

meaning leaf to another

where the notes fall

each over other

and trickle, pond, well

strikes me like a tune

the signature

in spare time

a certain hour

I’ll not say

creature every one anointed

must be the moment

remember when weather knew nothing of us?

went merrily on

is it flutter or flight?

I am the camera   

slow to a sadness

who isn’t there

peer into lit bits

and where unexpected

standing time still

by hook by claw

by tooth and nail

these are the clothes to which I am suited  

it’s with myself I go

could be there with you

it’s only we two now

pause, vanish

see how insects are upwardly mobile?

and air

hangs like hope

over our heads

hold back the branches and pass

sometimes scythe, machete, trowel

shovel, mattock, fork

despite cutbacks

the garden remains

sufficient to itself

look up will won’t you?

nests hidden

plain sight pumpkins

vine shy under

in a mist meaning

ears all night out for

the running of the creek

never yet named

but two months now

belonging

where will it come from?

it’s here where I’m always

on my way home

of course we have wings

salt over the shoulder

it’s head of a pin

all of us dance

this is the news

I bring
