sometimes you sense it
the swirling of the wild world
beyond the garden
Month: July 2021
28 July 2021
a wisp of curtain
waving out of the window
goodbye summer noon
deep warm waves of air
summer’s swirling mercury
in barley and storm
27 July 2021
tea in the garden
watch it jump out of the cup
bombarded with rain
26 July 2021
on the wheat-field path
raising dark red butterflies
into the white day
25 July 2021
another day’s work
sun sets on the bean flowers
temporary gold
24 July 2021
the scent of sweet peas
climbing in through the window
warm afternoon rain
23 July 2021
under a dark cloud
hollyhocks open themselves
into a new life
22 July 2021
a goldfinch settles
and it’s raining bean-flowers
just for a moment
21 July 2021
this morning’s new-mown
meadow sweet with meadowsweet
cloying and dizzy
a hot-air balloon
a fat exclamation mark
in circus typeface
20 July 2021
our bedroom window
face to face with hollyhocks
the height of summer
