A GARDEN SCENE




& birdsong 
 
& wingspan mayhem
over all the seeds sultanas
scatter dropped like a carpet bomb 

& poised & weighted
summer fruits drop
to the rag tag lawn 
of onion grass & black ant canyons

& theres my patio chair
astride lost crossword pencils
& my coffee is here & hot
& trembling in the rickety

& a car alarm
wah wah wah wah 
for twenty minutes
twenty minutes
oh man !

& two magpies yell
at a thief of a cat

BIRDS & THE MOON

 



the moon is
a neurodivergent godlet

& they scoop the tides
in a regular rhythm

hanging there self evident
in the blue sky & the black

no matter the 
boot prints
we trod into their face

& i nod to them
& i salute them

like i do with
the yelling magpies

& the murdered pigeon
i buried in our gardens

burgeoning animal 
cemetery plot
