a borrowed view
________________
today the wind –
eclipsing bird speak as each claims space
along cedar bough or fence post
against the greying sky –
wing beats of a fly like a
bow-tied helicopter
a hailstorm of chestnut –
husks knocking against the
deck and my head
who eats your leaves –
weaves a trace of light
trickling down
startling shock of pink –
inks your petals now bursting
forth fuschia
wafting sea-salt –
seaweed scented
air
and stalks of rhubarb –
harbouring memories of brown sugar
afternoons
in a time gone by
the sensory detail here is wonderful! You set up beautifully, Cristy.
Thanks, Britton! I have been stuck on the sevenling but hope to have time to read more of your works soon!
