A PAINTED GARDEN PICTURE


traffic murmur distant hot breath
and silver plane drone warning 
stalk the weaving tree top wind

garden 5 pm

the summer tries

the cat is a tinsel edged shadow
nose up 
smelling the bird song

behind the rosemary fence
smoking blunt word neighbours scrape patio chairs 
and click and flick cigarette lighters
loud pause before supper

my bare feet/work tired/like dumb hands
stretch and curl and make fists
in long spear grass and sudden daisy forests

. . . wonder if its true that magnetic forces
realign
when bare feet touch the earth
like
the
weird hippies
say
