A memory bridge
from old oak to young willow :
cross to the wildness.
******
Give this stream a name,
water will take it away :
letters seek the sea.
*****
Fence a squirrel-run,
foxes nose here at night-time ;
child's cry, hedgehog, gone.
*****
Ruler from fence-post,
cat chases flies,sharpens claws ;
no-one can own him.
*****
This summer of rain
seeds grow into small, soft suns ;
stream digs towards seams.
