As lizards bake on brick
All the hot and blue sky day
As lizards bake on brick
And busy birds are in and out of crack and cranny
Creeper, on parenting imperative
Chick-chick the noisy chorus ceaseless
Dawn to dusk
All the hot and blue sky day
The bee-loud butterfly
Flutter by, dip and dancing day
Too hot for a dog day
I hide inside
Shade and shutter
Brush and paint on paper poised
As careful petals curl
Unfurl one upon the other
Blossoms blooming on the page
A splash of rose in scarlet,
Leaves, the sun-baked stone
Fragment torn, weather-worn
A poem on a wall.
All the hot and blue sky day

Flutter by, dip and dancing day
Too hot for a dog day
I hide inside

As careful petals curl
Unfurl one upon the other
Blossoms blooming on the page
A splash of rose in scarlet,
Leaves, the sun-baked stone
Fragment torn, weather-worn
A poem on a wall.
May 29th 2011, Hounoux, for Gill and the enchanted Bordebasse, with thanks
