yellow-green leaflight
thunder hangs above the oak
the blackbirds’ silence
30 April 2024
goldgreen birch shadow
white light of garlic flowers
flaring like trumpets
29 April 2024
the song of blackbirds
rising in deep green dampness
wild garlic flowers
28 April 2024
filmy young oak leaves
silk of my thumbs softening
my damp fingertips
27 April 2024
one day this will pass
a lone bee loses itself
in comfrey flowers
26 April 2024
jackdaw on the fence
the world rolling in silence
on your milk-blue eye
25 April 2024
the moon’s a marble
rolled across the heights or deeps
its glass cold-misted
24 April 2024
soil under my nails
but you came out so sweetly
dandelion root
23 April 2024
wrens weave a thin path
in and out of willow leaves
the tracks of our days
22 April 2024
persistent drizzle
but you have to work to live
solitary bee
