a negative theology of the garden

for ghost writing, godsbother

 

may think to do no harm

don’t think

 

firstly know it’s non-commencing

grows over a clock

 

languages, like candles out

 

with each this gone of time

 

frog gone

 

no suddenness, ungrieving

here’s the wilt

 

night falls in with the garden

see nothing glow

some carry out

 

this that insect eaten

is a kind of buzzing off

 

everywhere all at once we’re not

 

tall ones lain quite flat

took further down

they too

 

in harsh days of the not-wet

days not dry

 

and wash away

voices raised

brief anger

 

then some birds blew out

 

no one much knows anything

all act in accord

 

let the least worst prosper

 

it’s corners curled to die

and someone self-erased

 

no one wrote this

soon fade to air

 

there’s a sort of sum

 

all so saying

but silence best

 

no last laugh where

the kingfisher lies in state

 

must listen hard for that
