Foundations
In the garden
rearriving..
rearriving..
and I push
the door open
fallen
ash on the grate
heather and feather
dessicated
from a low sun
branched dials point to corners
the cold bed
the cobwebbed pump
from transparent matter
a conversation of sea and song
I throw my map into the fireplace
banked embers rise
living water flows
tea steeps
outside in the wind
woven blankets flap
in cool undercurrents
wandering geese
fly home
yellow butterflies
yellow butterflies
over the sunlit garden
a buzzards shadow
