Wet
Oh grey descension
heavy
wet
the brain
the brow is wrinkled
frowned
the body sprouts new aches
and yet
we grumbled when the heat was sore
we wished no more
to sweat
now every leaf on every tree
is sat in motion
some fall off and stick to leaves below
the yellow sycamore
on bracken
patterned contrast
the broken cranesbill hanging
like a Tivoli canopy turning
the river swells and hair-bells
lie prostrate upon the earth
defeated
depleted
soaked
the pollen flour
no visits more
from natures store
sun-baked
happy
warm
In summer's fleet of bees
delight
in flight
the hand of autumn
struck too soon
before the waxing of the moon
and all is dark
no sound of larks up high
no ring of happy swimmers
in the river's dam
no butterflies to make our spirits dance
just water everywhere
and grey romance
among the peaks
the theatre drapes
they speak
