fall into summer  (  a  p o e m  )

…

trip on a cowslip & fall into summer

fumble a stumble, part-cartwheel then under


follow proceedings like willow on leather

float like a ghost or a deft thieving feather


glide for a moment - pretend it's a lifetime

as the bellflower clangs so the wild thyme chimes


swift as that swallow or sting from a nettle

cross every digit then settle on petals

...
