Breathless blossom hurries through April
Barren lichened arms inflate
like the inverted down of an arctic coat
with a delicious trace of cyanide on the breeze
A frozen dawn
Scillas came and are gone
Buzzing aeroplanes
warming afternoon photon skin soaked
I pull, seedy green heads hanging,
to halt their epidemic.
Dandy lions are bullying the grass skywards
to the freshly red painted cylinder blades.
Subtle hints, searching scents
Like the nose of a wine
remembering the season of swelling grapes
An incomprehensible immensity
is gathered and rising
